As our first Airbnb experience, we weren't entirely sure what to expect. Well, we couldn't have asked for a better first experience than staying with Sue in Auckland. She was incredibly flexible, accommodating and gracious. Yes, the house was great, and the room and bed are very nice, but Sue and her adorable dog Sam really made the stay.

My only regret was that our visit was so short. With only a quick two days in Auckland, we didn't get to spend nearly enough time there. Thank you again, Sue!
