This property is hands down the best AirBnB we’ve ever stayed at... here’s why:
Location: couldn’t be better! A short walk to Ponsonby road, and easy access to the city and motorways. If you’re not familiar with Auckland, Ponsonby is where you want to be. The CBD doesn’t have the same vibrancy as some other inner cities, and Ponsonby is full of shopping, great restaurants, and simple access to anywhere you want to go. It’s a great place for walking or access to public transport, and if you’ve got a car it’s very easy to get to motorways in any direction.
The house: is beautiful. Incredibly well maintained, The furnishings and appliances are modern, chic, and incredible quality. The owners have thought of everything. We had a dinner party one night for six, and every single thing I needed was available in the house. There are stairs down to access, so it may not be ideal if you’re not mobile, but we had an elderly lady visit and she was safe on the stairs. Given the location we were prepared for a bit of noise, but there was very little, for example, night the neighbours threw a party and we couldn’t hear it from inside the house. I’ve seen other reviews about the apartment above. While it’s true there was some minor noise with foot steps, it was not bothersome at all, just part of inner city living.
Communication: fast, friendly, and simple to understand. Prior to arrival we were sent a great set of instructions that were very clear, and during our stay we needed to contact for a couple of minor queries, and all were responded to immediately.
We stayed three weeks and every day was absolutely wonderful. I strongly recommend this property, and will absolutely look to stay again when we return to Auckland.
