Susan's home was perfect. The location was easy to find and very close to all the shops and restaurants in Ponsonby. The room was clean, comfortable and had anything you could need for a pleasant stay. Susan herself was extremely welcoming. She accommodated me when my flight arrived extremely early and provided me with lots of tips of where to go walking around. She provided breakfast and I was able to eat with her both days, which was very nice as a solo traveller. Highly recommend staying with Susan in Auckland. This area is lovely and safe. I hope to come back soon.
