My husband and I stayed in Diana's place for over a month and throughout our entire stay we felt so welcomed by Diana. We were in a unique situation where we had recently moved to Auckland and decided to stay in an Airbnb while looking for long term housing. Diana was super helpful in suggesting areas to sightsee and restaurants to try as well as giving us great local tips about navigating Auckland and finding the resources for getting us set up. She went above and beyond in terms of hospitality. For example, after learning that I was a rock climber as well, she happily invited me to her climbing gym and introduced me to her climbing friends. She also let us graciously use her as a contact reference when we were applying to rental applications!
Communication was always clear and consistent. The bedroom was a great size for all of our stuff and it conveniently had a desk from where my husband was able to continue working remotely on. The bathroom was clean and tidy. Diana took care of our linens and towels and cleaned our rooms routinely during our extended stay, which was nice. The common space was good and the deck was great for enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning. Her house was very conveniently located near Birkenhead shops and grocery stores. It is also very easy to catch a bus to the CBD.
All in all, you will find that Diana is super laid-back and lovely as a host and you will be well looked after when you stay with her!
