Shona's place was great in every way. It is in a great location where we could walk to breakfast/coffee places every morning and to Mount Eden. It is also right next to a lovely park and an easy Uber ride from the airport. The accomodations are great also. The three of us were in two bedrooms on the first floor with our own bathroom, which made it very private and comfortable. The kitched was very well stocked and we were able to prepare breakfast/coffee if we wanted. Christine was our host and she was extremily friendly, helpful and flexible with our checking in and out. The house is very beautiful, modern and very clean. The pictures don't do it justice. I definitley highly recommend this place to stay when visiting Auckland.
