Sarath is the best host I've had. I've stayed in a couple of dozen Air BnBs over the past three years and Sarath's home is the best. he's a kind, attentive, thoughtful host, and also respects your privacy. Honestly, he's a real pleasure to deal with. Remuera is one of the most affluent areas in Auckland, so its safe and nice to stroll through. It's also relatively close to the city. Two stops by train and if you are game, around an hour and a half walk, most of it along the waterfront by the sea. Sarath's house is warm and quiet and very clean. There are also some supplies like cereal and bottled water available. There are also work tables in the rooms. A great shower in the bathroom, excellent pressure. I can't enough positive about Sarath and his place. I highly recommend it.
