I had a very nice stay at Claire's Mums place. She is very warm and welcoming and was always there to help make the stay better, and also made me some tasty food on some days. The room is quite spacious with a table, robe and large bed, and lockable door for good privacy. The location was perfect with a 15min bus to my work in the CBD and being close to a big shopping centre and shops in a very nice area of Auckland. Will definitely recommend.
