Barry and Reena's house was just what we needed for a couple of nights to recover from the journey from the UK. The house is only about 30 minutes on public transport from the airport. On a major highway, but road noise minimal, and reduced significantly at night, so no problems sleeping. Also, being a main route there were regular and cheap ($1.89) buses into the City centre which took about 40 minutes. If planning to stay for any length of time, then purchase an AT HOP card for travel on buses, trains and ferries. There's a shop ten minutes walk from the house which sells them.
The house is very modern and spacious and the two bathrooms are the standout features with the rainfall shower in the en suite downstairs being a hit with the whole family. Nice outdoor private decking which sadly we didn't get a chance to properly enjoy as our stay was too brief, but I can imagine sitting out in the summer with a glass of wine or a beer. Barry and Reena were lovely hosts.
