I stayed at Alana’s place for 6 nights. It was a contemporary style, clean, well maintained accommodation with a stunning balcony view of the Russell and the Bay of Islands. Alana’s patients were excellent hosts. They live above the apartment but are quiet and respected my privacy. They made me feel welcome and graciously washed my dishes each day that I would deliver to them in a bucket. There is no kitchen sink in the unit. I did not have a car, but taking the 10 minute Zig-zag foot trail down to town got me every where I needed. I wound highly recommend Alana’s apartment.
