THIS is the place you want to be. Charlotte is a great host and very responsive. Her apartment had so many amenities....washer, dryer, iron, ironing board, refrigerator, toaster, oven, microwave, dishwasher and hair dryer. She also had muesli and milk (we ate it every morning!), kettle and tea bags, Nespresso machine and the basics...salt, pepper, olive oil, etc. And AWESOME wine glasses! :-). It’s a lovely apartment (good for 2 people, ok for 3) within walking distance to Ponsonby restaurants, the waterfront, ferries and Britomart.
I recommend taking s ferry to Devonport for a few hours and also a ferry to Waiheke for Mudbrick winery. We had a lovely day there!
There is a grocery store around the corner from the apartment which is great for picking up essentials. On the day before we left,it was raining, so we used the handy waterproof shopping cart provided to bring our road trip provisions back to the apartment.
I failed to mention that this was our very first Airbnb experience, and we will judge all others (on our around the world trip) based on this experience. Thank you Charlotte! We enjoyed it!
Cheers!
