I had a great week end at david´s apartment. The place is nice, the roomates really friendly, the bedroom is large with a nice large bed and really convenient. The bus stop or train stop is only 10 minutes walking distance so it was really convenient for me to enjoy auckland city. But most importantly, David is such a nice host and is really involved in making your stay enjoyable and interesting. He is really passionate about new zealand nature (forest and volcanoes) and in two days he showed me quiet a lot of interesting, beautiful and non touristy spots! I would really recommand it!
