One of the best places ive stayed in my travels. Tian's family is very nice and the location is perfect for exploring much of auckland. Easy access to public transportation, restaurants and shops nearby within walking distance. If you order uber, it is usually easier to have it pick you up across the street as the street outside can be quite busy. The house is very near to the street so cars on the street can be heard from the room at night time. Wasnt an issue for me but could be for a light sleeper.
