I enjoyed my stay at Hilarys place. Its a room which has a own bathroom and kitchen and everything looked nice. It gave me the feeling that im at home in my room. The location is good, so you can find many places to eat in Ellerslie just 5 mins from the house. Theres also a convinience store and an irish pub. Or if you want to go to CBD, the center of Auckland you can take the train 2 stations.
