Some people do Airbnb as a side line and to meet travelers. Arun seems to do it as a business. He has fees to use the kitchen (except when eating breakfast) and does not allow you to eat in your room. He has a nice bath tub which one might be tempted to use – esp. if you hadn't read his house rules – an extra fee for that. He offers use of his washing machine – for a fee which seemed higher than a commercial laundry. He offers a ride to pick up and drop off – again for a fee which is higher than a taxi. His directions from the nearby shopping center said it would take 20-30 minutes to walk but for $25 NZ he would pick us up. It took us about 20 minutes to walk – probably would have taken 5 minutes for him to drive. We had arranged a ride to the airport months ahead for $20 (now raised to $30) cash. He had another renter who left at the same time and charged her $30. A total of $50 (NZ) for about a 10 minute drive. (He commented that one never knows how the traffic will be). A taxi for us would have been much cheaper! I took pictures of the room just in case he decided to add fees for cleaning or whatever. Not the best feeling one wants while leaving beautiful and friendly New Zealand.
Other than that, the breakfast was fine and the place was clean. There were dogs which barked almost all night. Not his fault but perhaps he should have a word with his neighbors about it. He was friendly and had a nice tv. He does burn incense.
