I'm a traveling game developer. I stayed at Lisa's for 2 weeks and I loved it.
Lisa's place is stylish. She's got a lush and beautiful collection of plants in the back. Wifi was fast and reliable. Bathroom is spacious the shower is just great. There's a built-in lift that runs through the entire place if you don't want to take the stairs. But all that isn't the best thing about staying at Lisa's.
The best thing is Lisa.
Lisa is so friendly and hospitable. She's helpful and intuitively seems to understand the right amount of space each person desires. Another gentleman stayed in another room during my visit and I feel like we got very different and custom interaction profiles.
Lisa was thoughtful and extended zero pressure invitations to join meals and meet friends and family of hers in the normal course of her life. As a visitor to New Zealand, I feel like it's hard to come by local experiences like this.
Beyond all that, Lisa was happy and excited to help me find the best things to see and visit in the north island. It would have been a completely different trip without her.
She's got a couple of adorable doggos and she's just down the street from a very convenient shopping center. I'd certainly stay here again.
Thanks Lisa!
