I stayed at Louise's place for several weeks while on an extended work trip to Auckland. It was the perfect place for me, a quite retreat to come home to after a busy day in the CBD. The place was clean, with a cute little patio area, a lovely bathroom and a basic, but sufficient, kitchen. Louise was the perfect host, giving privacy but also being kind and responsive throughout the stay. The location is perfect - easy access to the CBD by bus, and close to cafes, grocery stores, restaurants, and local beaches. Would definitely recommend for short and longer stays.
