The proximity to the airport and the price is unbeatable in the Māngere neighborhood. If you follow the stringent rules, the host exhibits constrained amiability. If she deems that you are rude, you incur her wrath: read the response to reviews. We stayed here when we arrived in Auckland for a 3 week trip staying at an Air BnB every night. We booked this place for one night before departure but canceled without a refund when we could get an earlier flight because of the uncomfortable shared bathroom, the coarse Playboy towels, no mirror in the bedroom (needed with a shared bathroom), no space on the tables and stools in the bedroom because of dated decoratives abounding. Profound brick-a-brack reminiscent of a slightly curtailed hoarder fills the space and air. The profusion of nearby eateries is of acceptable quality. There’s a grocery but rules declare no realistic food prep in the place. Shoes must be removed inside the door without offering sandals to replace them. No A/C.
