We had the most relaxing days since weeks at Arturo's place. We felt really welcome and at home. The apartment is super clean and comfortable and situated perfectly in the middle of Ponsonby. It might be a bit more noisy on the weekend as there are some bars nearby but for us that was no problem at all.
Arturo is the perfect host and took really good care of us. We will definitely try to stay with him again when we come back to Auckland.
