Well, this is a difficult one. We stayed in Eric and Jasons house for a few nights and we must say that the place is quite neglected. If you are just looking for a roof over your head in a great neighborhood, this might be right for you. Ponsonby is great and you are really in for some treats. If you are looking for a great value rental to feel cosy and comfy, it is not. To be fair: it was clean when we arrived and we enjoyed our stay in Auckland!
