Not only a great location that gives easy access to the centre of Auckland and to the airport, Leith and Sam’s flat is really comfortable and well appointed. We particularly liked the kitchen which was compact but had just about everything you need to be fully self catering; really nice crockery as well which shows someone who is paying attention to the detail. Sian welcomed us when we arrived and gave useful tips about getting into the centre on public transport - there’s no way I wanted to fight the traffic! It’s a five minute drive to the train station where, if you are lucky you will find space in the car park, if not, just park for free a few streets away. Then it’s about 25 mins on the train. The airport is about 20 minutes drive in the opposite direction. As the listing says, there is a washing machine which is in a shared room attached to the unit. They provide a clothes airer that we put out on the little terrace. Another plus is that the flat is beautifully scented. Thanks Leith and Sian for hosting us.
