Róisín's place was an excellent home base for my time in Auckland. The room was comfortable and quiet and the rest of the flat had everything I needed. Not particularly fancy or modern, but nothing lacking either. A home crafted with much care and kindness. The location is fantastic for a lush, rejuvenating retreat within a quick walk or bus to city center. And, perhaps most notably, Róisín is such a lovely host. The spirit of the mountain, Maungawhau/Mount Eden, is alive in her. We shared thoughtful conversations and interactions. I would absolutely stay here again.
