Great place to stay in Auckland for a few days! The room and bathroom are very comfortable, and you can walk to the city center (though it takes about 30mn and can be rather steep!) and the ferry station. Neighborhood is cute, with a few coffee places and restaurants, but not as much as in the city center. We did not have the chance to spend much time with Susan as she was busy with family and work, but she did everything to make our arrival easy and was very reactive!
