We had a great stay at the house of Sarah and Zoe. It is perfect to explore Ponsonby with all its restaurants and bars. You can even walk into the city centre (or take the bus or an UBER). And although it is so close to all those restaurants, it is very silent as it is a "No Exit" road. The house was very clean and we felt welcome all the time. They have cats and dogs which we really liked. We can recommend to stay at their house.
