We cannot recommend enough Peter's place as an inexpensive base for exploring Auckland. Everything needed for 2 for a comfortable stay was provided, including personal touches such as (T2) tea, bread, milk, cereal and butter. The toaster and microwave allowed for snacks and light meals to be prepared, and if not there were loads of restaurants etc. within a short walk (Ponsonby was surprisingly large). The AirB&B was also spotlessly clean, bed very comfortable and nice lounge and TV area to relax in at the end of the day. It was also walkable into the centre of Auckland (approx 30mins) and buses were close by - and the AT HOP cards Peter provided at the outset were much appreciated to allow us to use the buses straightway (they don't take cash or cards). Many thanks Peter for such a nice start to our Kiwi adventures!
