lisa's place is a real haven close to the centre city, but far enough away to be peaceful and tranquil. waking to birdsong in the nearby bush was magical. the amenities were to a very high standard. Lisa was very welcoming and happy for me to cook my own evening meal in her very nice kitchen. Very comfortable bed and high spec bathroom. Although I don't have a dog myself I thoroughly enjoyed the of her two wee fur babies, who were affectionate and very well behaved. But they also were not permitted in my area of the home. Overall it was a lovely stay. I will certainly be hoping to stay there again next time I am in Auckland.
