Richard and Simon were both very friendly and helpful hosts making us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. The room was great with free water and chocolates ( nice touch :) ) and even though the kitchen was under renovation we always felt relaxed and comfortable and had all the facilities we needed.
The location was great, very close and easy to get into the city center and a short walk to lots of cafes and nice restaurants in Ponsonby.
We didn't have time to explore the beaches and other sights near the house but we could see all were very close and definitely worth a visit when we return.
Richard and Simon also prepared helpful lists of activities in Auckland and how to get into and around the city. They both were happy to answer any questions we had and went out of their way to help us and make us feel at ease in their home.
Overall we had a great time there and would definitely recommend their home to others. Hopefully in the near future we will back.
So thank you again both!
Also they have two absolutely beautiful cats which added a special extra to our stay :)
