My welcome to Edwards crib was warm and inviting, which was just what I needed after a long airline flight. Verity has created a magical studio oasis with so much thoughtful consideration. The room is so clean, tidy and well equipped with snacks and a nespresso machine for coffee. Verity has added little touches to make your stay cozy and home-like such as a bathrobe and aroma diffuser. Behind the room is a serene and beautiful back drop of greenery and trees. The neighborhood is quaint with other beautiful houses to admire; walking around you can see views of the ocean. There are nice restaurants and shops conveniently nearby. Public transportation options to downtown Auckland include a bus and ferry that are short walk away. Verity was so helpful and gave me great recommendations on places to visit. I wish all Airbnbs could be like this one and that I could have stayed longer!
