Carla was a great host - very accommodating with fast communication. The check-in process was simple, and the house was amazing. Great location in the beautiful Ponsonby area, plenty of room, and a well-stocked kitchen capable of making big family meals if desired. We were a family of 7 and used all of the bedrooms available including the one located within the backyard "dollhouse"/mother-in-law suite. Please note that to access the "dollhouse" one must walk straight through the back bedroom which might be an issue for those wanting more privacy. There is a side door in the laundry room which might be an alternative entry point (as we were all family, we didn't explore this option). The "dollhouse's" bed is situated on the second floor, up a narrow, curving flight of stairs and the bathroom is on the first floor, which also features a pull-out couch, mini-fridge, sink, and toaster. All of the beds, linens, and towels were great quality and the house was very clean. It had everything we needed for our stay in Auckland. I would highly recommend!
