I've stayed in airbnb's in NZ, Australia and Indonesia. Oscar and Pieter's apartment is the best airbnb accommodation I've experienced to date.
The 1 bedroom apartment situated below their home has luxurious furnishings throughout, right through to the bathroom which is fully kitted for your stay. You just have to bring your toothbrush and toothpaste. Oh and the shower. Wow! Best shower I've had in a long time. The pressure is fantastic and there's loads of hot water. I'm guessing it's on a gas system. Pieter and Oscar have spared no expense ensuring their home has really great basic comforts.
The apartment is tasteful, uncluttered, light and has great heating for winter months.
It's also the cleanest airbnb I've ever stayed in. At no time did I feel any ick factor anywhere in this apartment. First time ever in an airbnb. Thanks guys. You rock!
With added touches of chocolates and a welcome card it was easy to feel wanted as a person and not just a guest.
I compared this apartment with another that a colleague was staying at. My Auckland airbnb experience was very different to hers and I paid less for my significantly better experience.
Oscar and Pieter are two very thoughtful hosts who care about their home and their guests. Their genuinely good natures were very much appreciated and I will always think fondly of my experience in their home. I look forward to my next trip to Auckland so I can stay with them again.
