Lubna & her family were very friendly & helpful. The room was exactly as described in a quiet driveway in a quiet part of Auckland. The large lounge & kitchen seemed to have all that you would need, although I'll admit I didn't spend too much time in them :-) One night for dinner I walked through a local park to a set of small restaurants & food shops where I bought my dinner - about 10 minutes away. It was an easy run into town along the motorway.
