The house wasn't as close as it appeared on the map to the Manukau mall & bus station however it's only a half hour walk or $6 Didi away so was okay.
I've never stayed in an Airbnb with the host before, however decided to give it a go as our previous accommodation plans had fallen through and we were short on time. Our short notice booking went smoothly, communications were prompt and friendly, and the hosts made the experience very easy and comfortable.
Check in was easy and everything was ready for us right down to the wifi password. We were greeted then shown to the room and where to find what we needed then left to do our own thing, which we really appreciated because we were pretty exhausted.
Check out was just a matter of leaving by 10am, and locking the door behind us. Easy.
We could have used the kettle, tea, coffee, etc and the toaster if we wanted to.
The accommodation is clean, comfortable, and affordable, and the hosts are friendly, organised, and respectful. 😊
