This Auckland home is in a wonderful location, within a short walking distance to stores, cafes, bars, ice cream, pizza, sea food places and the beach. Beautiful houses surround this exceptional home. Christine is a great host. She makes everything easy for her guests. I love to cook and the kitchen had everything I needed to prepare meals. Since we are on an extended vacation the washer and dryer came in very handy indeed! Beds and bedding are top notch. Cleaning and bath products are environmentally friendly. The yard is full of flowers and birds. We look forward to a return visit.
