Great location, sunlit and airy. We loved the balcony, the lounge and the backyard in the afternoon light. We stayed for 1 month while working in Auckland with our toddler twins and had an overall positive time. During our stay we did have some issues that took a while to be resolved with our busy hosts. The place is little tired, and don’t expect any homely touches. I wouldn’t say it’s prepared for long term rentals, especially with a family - no cleaning products etc. And although the back deck and yard are nice - it’s not great for kids as there is no gate and the path runs straight to a busy road. But if you’re after a place for a weekend away, then it would be a good option.
