It was a nice stay in one of Ted's rooms. I appreciated the comfy bed and the good shower and I felt safe all the time. These rooms and the building may cause a strange feeling. However, you don't have to worry at all. The building is located very close to the city centre of Auckland and the cost/performance ratio was therefore extraordinarily good. As mentioned by Ted's room description (which I didn't read carefully enough), the room is quite noisy. Therefore, I would recommend staying in this room for 1 or 2 nights only. I was thankfully allowed to change rooms. Ted is very friendly and helpful. All in all a great stay.
