This is an ok stay, but not great value for money against similarly priced stays in Auckland. The host, who I met briefly, seemed very nice. The room is small and the fixtures and fittings quite dated, and you can hear the family living in the rooms above. The kitchen is a bit of a mess with half finished units and fridges and pots everywhere. The fridges were not well kept. You share the kitchen and bathroom with either 3 or 5 other rooms, I wasn't quite sure. But the bathroom was not clean. Breakfast items were left out for me after I asked, but we're not offered. It's ok for one night if you're desperate.
