Conneys place is a good option if you want to explore (the region of) Auckland. The beds are comfortable and because it is situated in a residential area it is very quiet. Communication with Conney and checking in were very easy. Conney lives next door, so when we experienced some problems after our arrival (wifi and discharge of the shower) it was easy to ask Conny for help and she resolved it. Because the house lacks a couch or comfortable chairs and the kitchen is very basic to us the house would not be suitable for a stay longer than a few nights.
