I loved my room and enjoyed lots of time on the beautiful deck that looks out on downtown Auckland. The location is fantastic for shopping, dinning, and just walking. I had great meals on Ponsonby and enjoyed a yoga class at East West yoga. A Count Down is nearby, and Arturo's kitchen is well equipped with cooking utensils and basics. Arturo is perhaps the very best part of this outstanding BnB experience, as he is a generous, thoughtful, friendly and playful host that always seems to find a way to make you feel just a little more at home. And the bed, too, was amazing! 5 stars plus:)
