Communication with Jackie was easy and she was very correct when informing us that there was construction going on on her premises and we might cancel our booking.
Since it was holiday season no workers were around and so it was very quiet as it is in general in whole Remuera area.
We did not have the luck meeting Jackie personally but fresh flowers made us welcome :-)
But there was one point which we did not expect and made our stay a little less relaxing: quite lot of cat hair in the living area and also some cat smell.
Cats were mentioned in the information but that they would have their place somewhere around the house and not inside. Maybe it had to do with the fact that the basement is a construction site but as somebody who is a little allergic it was not so nice:-( should be mentioned more clearly we guess!
