I can highly recommend Michael's place for your stay in Auckland and I think that Michael was an excellent host. He responded to any questions we had pretty much immediately and did everything to make our stay great.
The apartment has everything you need for cooking and relaxing and the beds are very comfortable. Even though it says there is a sofa bed in the sitting room there is actually a proper mattress put down on top of the sofa bed mattress which makes it into a really comfortable proper bed.
The shower is great with really hot water that doesn't run out and there's a smart TV in the living room. The apartment is also really private and is laid out in a really nice way that you can't fully appreciate in the pictures.
The apartment is in a really lovely location especially if you love walking in nature. There is a lagoon and a beach within 3 minutes walking from the apartment and it is also really well serviced by a bus stop just across the road that will take you into the city centre and also to some places in the East and West of the city such as Avondale and New Lynn.
Thanks Michael for a great trip to Auckland!
