We had a six-month stay in Valentina and Phil's Airbnb. The location was ideal for us as Newmarket and Remuera and surrounding areas have wonderful shopping and everything we needed. We did not have a car for much of our stay. The Newmarket train station is a two minute walk which made it very convenient to explore Auckland and to get to the ferry terminal. The apartment has an open studio feeling and Valentina and Phil provided a study area and bed for our teenage son. The apartment is nicely equipped for cooking and we were very comfortable. Valentina and Phil are lovely hosts.
