Vivian’s place was a new listing and it looked as though it had been newly refurbished when we stayed for a couple of nights with my family. The place is lovely but it had several amenities missing and room for improvement, which we assume it’s just due to the place being a new listing (and hence the price). Vivian was very responsive and nice throughout our stay, and we’ve already informed her of the necessary improvements to the place for future guests. I’d advise to read the description carefully and check with her what you will need to avoid surprises. The place was very clean except for some items left behind which again we assumed it’s due to being new hosts. It’s 5 minutes drive to the nearest supermarket and stores but there’s a dairy down the road. If you’re looking for a place close (not central) to Auckland CBD with the basics, this is your place.
