Barry & Ruth's place is very homey and cozy. The room is nice and large with lots of space and a very comfortable bed to rest in. They have a very peaceful spot in a lovely neighborhood. Walking distance to plenty of cafes, restaurants, a shopping centre, etc. They are also both very welcoming and helpful to chat with. Ruth was extremely accommodating and quick to respond while coordinating check in as well. Definitely recommend if you would like to stay in nice quiet residential area of Auckland.
