Fiona's house is beautiful and well located as it is in walking distance of many restaurants and boutique stores on the main road in Ponsonby. We only stayed at Fiona's place for a two nights before flying back to the U.S., but it worked perfectly for us. I especially loved having the sliding patio door from the bedroom to the garden in the backyard and our own private bathroom. We spoke with Fiona briefly the first day we arrived and she was very friendly and even let us park our car in the driveway. I loved walking around this neighborhood and the surrounding area, and would definitely stay at Fiona's place again in the future. Note that there is not a lock on the bedroom door, which is a swinging door, but we were not worried about that as New Zealand is a very safe place.
