What we liked very much is that the room is at the back of the house and that makes it even more private even if the common areas are shared. Sally is not intrusive at all so we were or felt like we were on our own most of the time. Whenever we crossed Sally in the house, it was great talking to her, especially about traveling :)
Her house is very close to Mount Eden and there is a bus stop only one minute away to get a bus directly to CBD. There were also lots of restaurants and a Countdown supermarket not far away on Dominion Road. Very quiet neighborhood.
We definitely recommend Sally's place.
