I needed a place to stay and rest up during some renovations at home and Kate's studio was perfect. Kate's a lovely host, really friendly and nice. The studio is in a great spot, in a quiet garden setting, but also in a really good Grey Lynn location. Loved the proximity to all the cute neighbourhood bars and cafes just up the road, especially the Gypsy Tearoom on the corner, and there is a great bookshop nearby too. The easy bus trip to town was also really convenient. The welcoming committee of friendly pets were adorable, and also the studio was clean and airy and well set up with everything a person could need for a short stay (and nice linen). Would definitely stay again.
