My wife and I stayed for 4 weeks and the guest cottage was clean, had everything we needed and was good value. Location was good for us with family in the immediate area and we know Auckland well having stayed AirBnB 5 times before. Host Maree was kind and attentive and left us alone except when we needed anything and we kept in touch by text. Her husband was uncommunicative except when berating us for leaving a window slightly open (4 inches) when it rained (there are no overhangs so rain comes in if the window is left open and it was warm at night). We also misunderstood when to lock an entry door to the garden. He became agitated when we were visited by our 3 year-old grandaughter who ran around the garden for a short while - so we avoided him and stayed out most of the time. The place itself was otherwise perfect for what we wanted.
