Pls, do yourself a favour and book right away without second thoughts! (wink). This place is an amazing unique eclectic-style airbnb with the best kiwi hostess ever; friendly and kind, open to talk about whatever you may need to know and also about her travelling experiences abroad. Im glad that I found the right spot and the right person to spend some time during my first week in NZ as a working holiday visa maker. Everything is at hand, so if you need to do groceries, bank paperwork or just go to Westfield mall, you will be able to do so by walk. In any case you may want to go to the CBD, the train station is also pretty close and it has direct connection to Britomart. I really had lovely days at her place and I wish I've could stayed the second week I've had booked, but getting a fruit season job was my priority. I will definitely come back to visit her eventually as I know I can trust her. Hugs and I hope you're doing well. Thanks for everything!
