James communication is exceptional whilst we stayed here between homes.
We were a family of 5 staying at his flat. The great parts are location to centre of Takapuna, parking off street, open living space and some nice touches like Netflix.
It was a little bit of a tight squeeze for 5 (which we knew) so worth considering before booking, depending on the number of people staying. There were limited cooking utensils so we bought some of our own. It can also get pretty cold and damp at night but that’s winter in NZ for you.
We would recco staying here and highly recommend James as a host.
