I felt welcome immediately as I was greeted at the door and had a lovely conversation before settling in.
The space is large and comfortable. I particularly enjoyed the sunny deck in the afternoons and being able to open the French doors. The bedroom has a lovely reading or working nook with a big window for light.
You will probably need a car but it is not far to the train station, grocery stores, Pataka Art and Museum, Titahi Bay and other scenic areas. I would definitely return.
