If your travel plans are taking you to Auckland for business or pleasure and you want to book an Airbnb property, look no further than “Art By The Sea.” A full one bedroom apartment with a private entrance awaits you beneath the main level of Jill and Jim’s beautiful home located on the Manukau Harbour just off the Tasman Sea. Only lush vegetation that seems to serve as a bird sanctuary separates you from the edge of the harbour and a picturesque view of spectacular sunrises. Jill leaves nothing undone in preparing for your visit and she communicates with you prior to your arrival, during and afterward as well. She not only has current brochures, magazines and travel materials available for you to peruse, but also lists and lists of personal favorite eateries and excursion possibilities. In addition, if you take advantage of Auckland’s clean and reliable public transportation system, if available, Jill or Jim will gladly drop you off at the bus stop that you need to take into the trendy and delectably delicious Mt. Eden area and right down into city center. This courtesy in itself is a remarkable plus for choosing this property, especially when you experience the neighborhood walkthrough from the bus stop back to the apartment. Everything and I mean everything has been thought of and taken care of for your arrival—breakfast items, snacks, a comfortable queen size bed with lots of covers for any and all seasons, a living area with a large flat screen TV, a sitting area with a sofa and comfy lounge chair, a table for two, a kitchen with lovely dishes, plenty of cooking utensils, a pristinely clean bathroom with a shower, AND between the kitchen and bathroom—a washing machine for your personal use!
Now, for the best part of this property. It’s the proprietors. Jill and Jim go way beyond the requirements that Airbnb sets for its hosts. Their genteel ways, charming Kiwi personalities, dedication to their family and their desire to make you feel at home, coupled with their love for their city and country allow you to see that their God given talent of hospitality comes together when they welcome you as guests and bid you adieu as extended family.
