We did not get the chance to meet Chris, but Barb who welcomed us at the apartment is definitely the most kind and helpful host I've ever met on Airbnb ! She provided us with tons of useful information and was always really fast to answer. The place was very clean, well-equipped and perfectly located in the heart of Auckland city. Plus, you get a beautiful aerial view of Auckland CBD from the bedroom windows ! If you come to Auckland for a few days or even a few weeks, that's where you should stay !
