This place is a gem of a find in a wonderful neighbourhood walking distance to the beach and park. Barb and Sandy are the most wonderful hosts: friendly, kind, and totally empathetic when our next Airbnb was cancelled due to the Auckland floods. We were blown away by all the space : a bedroom ( comfy bed, large amount of closet space ) that could be closed off from living area, a big living space with two couches , and a kitchen that allowed us to cook at home. Electric hot plate, electric deep dish frying pan, French coffee press , microwave, toaster/convection oven, washing machine and drying rack, a lovely outside space, and great shower pressure. We stayed almost one week and would stay again in a heartbeat. Thank you Sandy and Barb for everything you did and helped us with and the conversations.
