Sandhya and Max's home is definitely the best Airbnb place that my husband and I stayed at. it is very clean and tidy. Sandhya and Max were out most of the week and they let us use their study room to work remotely, which is fantastic. The internet is great! The neighbourhood is quiet. There are a couple of long walk routes nearby and we did part of the walk around the lake? They prepared a tourist guide for us including recommended food and activities we can have at Auckland.
It is a very good experience living at home.
The only thing we would recommend is to arrive at their place at daytime as no street lights on the little path to their place. Summer time may be a bit hot as there is no conditioner in the room. Also traveling with your own car might be better for us as the closest shop/shopping mall is 20 mins walk. But for the people who love walking, it might not be an issue.
