I'm very thankful for this listing considering the historic and devastating torrential rain Auckland experienced during my time at Olivia's place. It probably would have been a different story if I had stayed in the Newmarket area. My two primary criteria was proximity to the airport by bicycle and a desk. My two secondary criteria was proximity to food places and shopping centers. All at a more reasonable price than hotels were offering. Olivia's place perfectly met my criteria and much more. In particular, it's very close to the absolutely great Totara Park (which I was able to enjoy the one day it didn't rain like crazy). I highly recommend Olivia's place for any type of traveler.
