Definitely recommend this place for your stay in Auckland.
Lovely welcoming family, Varsha is very friendly and always takes time to make conversation about future travels and general topics.
The house is out of the city but close to train station so good location, easy to get to CBD 30 minute direct.
For check in, I recommend you specify the night before what time you will arrive so a key will be left for you! As everyone works in the day so sometimes you have to wait for late check in but no problem if you let Varsha know beforehand.
The room is on the top floor so very private and it is spacious. The kitchen is tidy and usually always available to cook in, the hosts offered us to try some Indian food and told us some recipes which I thought was really nice of them!
Overall, we (as a couple) felt comfortable during our stay here and would return in the future.
One of the best in Auckland for the price!
