The place is lovely and clean, close to the beach (walking distance) and to takapuna. It is very nice decorated and Karla put some fresh flowers up prior to our arrival. She has been a great host, very responsive and trying to help wherever she can.
There are few places that are advertised as pet friendly and the combination of this with the great value, an amazing host and and the location is outstanding.
Only thing to be aware of is that it is on a busy road and there will be some noise 24/7. If you are fine with that, Karla’s place is perfect.
