This is a safe and quiet neighborhood. It is a nice spot if you transit in or out of Auckland airport. However, be aware that it takes more than an hour to reach central Auckland by public transit.
The listing shows access to an equipped kitchen. However, it is written in the house rules that guests can't cook. We did not see this at first so we were surprised when we found out. You still have access to a toaster, kettle, microwave, and fridge.
There are two double rooms available at Nikhil's place, so the unique bathroom can get crowded at times of the house is full.
Still a nice and clean spot for a quick stay !
