It's perfect! There is no tiny disadvantage of this stay, not at all. No matter the room, the location, the host, all fantastic. This is the best airbnb we have experienced.
We've had a lot of chatting with Din, the way she treated us was quite moving. Din greated us with an afternoon tea, a lot of tea choices with her homemade cake. Din prepared everyday's breakfast herself for us, with love. The first morning we woke up here, we found Din was waiting for us to eat a totally homemade warm breakfast, the table was fully set,which surprised us and touched us. We came to Auckland for tourism, but we would rather stay at home chatting with Din. She paints many beautiful paitings and some of them go for auctions. Din is such a kind person, readily taking part in charity activities. We felt the chatting with her full of love.
Fred, the dog is also the most loving one I have ever seen. He behaves quite well, and even could invite us to breakfast in the morning. If you play with him, he is lovely. If you don't want to, he won't bother you at all. Such a good boy! We miss him so much!
The loction of the house is more than perfect. Quiet neighbourhood, but just less than 5 minutes walk to the New Market area, where there are more shops and restaurants than the city center. 5 mins walk to train station and just one stop to the city center! The view from the guest room window is fabulous. Can't imagine a better loction than this.
The guest room is quite a large one on the third floor. Two heaters, one for bedroom, one for bathroom(which is also large). It always smells good, filled with lavander smell.
Love you, Din. We will visit you again some day!
