We had only one night at Patrick's place and it is one heck of a gem in Auckland! The vibe is very friendly and warm with other travelers occupying other rooms and tastefully colorful décor throughout. The view is gorgeous and the pool very relaxing! It feels like a little tropical private island. Patrick is a super hospitable, bubbly man filled with tips for exploring the area. The room was very comfortable, clean, extremely quiet, great wifi, great shower, very well located and we would absolutely recommend to all!
