Isla was just a wonderful host, respectful of my privacy but very kind and accommodating. She is still making some minor renovations, but the private room and bathroom were clean and all I needed for a comfortable and great stay in Auckland. I was in town for a conference at the University of Auckland, so her location was perfect, and getting to and from the airport was also easy via the SkyBus. All that and a great, affordable price, so I would definitely stay with her again if I could. Highly recommend!
