We were in town for a concert at Spark Arena so chose to stay at Jillian's place based on distance from the venue. What a treat! 20min walk to or from the arena so no worry about trying to get public transport afterwards. The house itself was excellent - a great character home. Being personally welcomed and shown around was much nicer than being given a lockbox code. Really appreciated the breakfast options available - fresh fruit, bread, yoghurt, cereals, tea and coffee - beat out the offerings at most hotels. Other positives were two bathrooms, great water pressure, nice outdoor areas for enjoying the sun, quick walk to Parnell/Newmarket shops. A couple of things to note, there was a wee bit of traffic noise due to being on a busy road, and while it didn't bother us, there was no TV. Not a problem in itself, but unusual these days. Overall it was brilliant and would stay again in a heartbeat.
