This is one of the best Airbnb’s we’ve stayed in! Wonderful location, wonderful host, excellent amenities...did we mention Barry?! This lovely stylish apartment is situated down a quiet leafy street just a short walk to the waters edge or coffee from some great local cafes and restaurants. There is a super market and gas station a short drive up the road and plenty of dairy’s and takeaways bookshops and galleries within walking distance. The Apartment itself is elevated with a sun drenched balcony in the afternoon and from the back catches the morning sun looking out over the lovely garden and lap pool. We stayed here for a few months and it was like a home away from home - everything had been thought of for comfort and convenience. The kitchen is really well stocked with all you need to cook with and storage to keep things in. A lot of basics supplied like milk, tea and coffee, salt and pepper etc.. and even a soda stream to sparkle the water! It was lovely to have a washer and dryer for long stays, clean linen and extra towels and blankets for the colder nights and the bathroom comes with great shower pressure! One of the best parts about staying here was our lovely, friendly, thoughtful host Philippa who was excellent with communication and making sure we had everything we needed. Also or course Barry the cat who provided great company and entertainment. We would highly recommend Philippa and this apartment for anyone needing a great relaxing space to call home while visiting or working in Auckland!
