We loved staying at Vanya's flat. The location was perfect - walkable to downtown and the great restaurants in Ponsonby and a cheap fare across the bridge to the North island like Takapuna. The flat has everything you need (including an adorable cat) and the street is very quiet. Vanya was an excellent host and communicating with her was really easy. She was very responsive and I had a great time chatting with her.
We would stay here again!
