Before we even checked in, Richard sent us an entire guide to the city and neighborhood. When we arrived, his house and our room had a lots of character, was comfortable, and clean. The house is within walking distance of downtown Auckland and other sights.
The best part of our stay was Richard’s hospitality. He opened his refrigerator/laundry/fresh produce in the yard to us and treated us like family. We put together a puzzle, talked, and watched movies late into each night.
Our visit to Auckland was definitely made by our amazing stay at Richard’s house and we will never go anywhere else on return visits.
