Review from my daughter: Des was the best host I have experienced on Airb&b so much so I felt part of the family. He was extremely accommodating and helpful on every occasion. From taking me to the local grocery store in order to prepare food for my competition on the day I arrived to constantly checking in on me throughout my stay, asking if there was any more I needed. Cookie the kitten and Des’s son were also fab friends to have during my stay since I was here alone. Even as a young female I felt very safe during my stay with Des. If I shall find myself in Auckland again, I shall certainly stay with Des again.
