This was our first experience with AirBNB & our 4 days in this lovely cottage in quiet Parnell was delightful. John was a great host & clearly explained all we needed to know. Provided cereal & snacks. It is a very short walk to the Parnell shopping strip, as well as the Auckland Museum/War Memorial. With the CBD less than 10 mins by car. We felt very much at home. Besides being a great location, it also afforded a wonderful view. We were sad to leave.
