This "Hidden Sanctuary" in Grey Lynn was perfect. Very large, beautifully designed and decorated, with all modern appliances (including the very useful washer), and a really great outdoor space as well. The location was convenient to everything we wanted to do in Auckland, and there were nice shops and restaurants a short walk up the street. Also, this place is close to the cafes and shops in Ponsonby, and a 10-15 drive to downtown and the harbor front . I highly recommend Maddie's place to anyone looking for a quiet and convenient accommodation in the Auckland area.
