This is a nice place and best described as a suite. Nice living area and comfortable bedroom and ensuite.
If you are like us and like to cook a meal at home you might find this AirBnB doesn't quite tick the boxes as the occupant is limited to a microwave, toaster, kettle and a fridge. There isn't a kitchen sink so one has to use paper plates (not very sustainable) or put the washing up in a box which is collected and crockery etc replaced by the host later in the day.
The plus points are a nice comfy bed and a shower that will pin you to the wall with plenty of hot water. Good internet connection and Netflix!
There are good local shops such as Countdown (supermarket), bottle shop, pub and restaurants all within ten minutes door to door. Takapuna centre is a bit further away and probably a bus ride or an Uber.
All in all Brendan is a good host and easy going. The suite is spacious and the internet/Netflix works well.
