Amy was an amazing host. Days before my arrival Amy instigated contact to set in place my arrival time and access arrangements. The loft was spotlessly clean and exactly as depicted in the photographs (in fact, the bedroom was probably a little more spacious). The space was generous, well designed and comfortable, with everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) that I would need. Amy had supplied a fruit bowl, mints, milk, tea and coffee, and cereal in the loft to keep me going until I had a chance to go to the shops. The neighbourhood was great. The private entrance was lovely, as it made me feel like I had my own little private residence in Auckland, and that I wasn't intruding on Amy or her family. The loft was located on a street that was off a main road (with a bus stop less than 5 mins away), and a 15 mins walk from the shops, so it was easy to get around, without all of the noise from the traffic. As a single woman, I felt incredibly comfortable walking around and staying in this neighbourhood alone. Amy made the effort to pop up to the loft at a time that was convenient to me, to check that I had everything I needed. She was friendly, flexible and extremely responsive to all correspondence. I have nothing but praise for Amy and the loft, and I'll be sure to stay there again if I come back to Auckland.
