What an amazing experience! I was warmly welcomed by Carl into his spectacular home with a most fabulous view of Auckland city, and I immediately felt right at home with his gentle and most helpful manner. The location is absolutely perfect! It's a minute's walk from Ponsonby Road which is bustling with restaurants and fashion retailers, and, like I said, has a memorable view of the city skyline (which is even better at night). The room was spacious and very clean and fresh. There was also a modern TV, a most useful glass-top desk, great air conditioning for all temperatures, wifi and internet wall connection, as well as towels and robes provided. The bed was probably the most comfortable I've ever slept in, no kidding. The bathroom was just as you'd expect, excellent shower pressure and clean. The weather didn't play it's part during my stay else I would made use of the pool area which looked just divine. All in all there is just so much to say about this place, it's just perfect for business people or travelers passing through. I really look forward to visiting again!
