Sheryl is a warm, welcoming, and engaging host. The room is a good size with a double bed, table and chair, and other furniture, but it's also cosy and feels like your own space. The house is what you might call a 'classic' - old and charming and sitting in its own corner plot - much nicer than the modern boxes you will generally find jammed up against each other throughout Auckland. It has a few quirks and is undergoing gradual renovation but don't let that put you off, at least not if you like high ceilings and a place with character.
