This is a multi-part question, so here's a bit of back story:
I will need an apartment when I get to Auckland, preferably in the CBD so I am close to public transport (I won't have a car) and close to places I can have a "day job" (actress!). I've emailed a few agents about specific places, but some never got back to me, and some say I cannot lease a place without viewing it first. Fair enough.
1) I am looking into temporary (few weeks?) accommodation for when I first arrive. Does anyone have any information about the Bond Street Lodge in Kingsland (http://www.bondstlodge.co.nz/) (or the related Galatos St Lodge in Newton (http://www.finda.co.nz/business/listing/m2vn/galatos-st-lodge/) - which has no website of its own)?
1B) What are these types of accommodation called, so I can do a more specific search if needed?
2) As for a long term apartment, can anyone recommend any other real estate companies or websites that list from multiple companies? I already have realestate.co.nz, Crockers, apartmentrental.co.nz, nzs.com (real estate listings), trademe, aucklandproperty.net, and sublet.com.
2B) If anyone knows of any studio or 1 bedroom places in the CBD (or close) for under 230/pw could you let me know? Never hurts to ask...:p
Thanks for reading. :)
ETA - I didn't realize there was a specific real estate folder before I posted this. Apologies!
