Barb and Sandy were fantastic hosts for our first AirBnB experience. They were above and beyond accommodating and made us feel very welcome. The gas fireplace was a wonderful bonus and it kept us plenty cozy. The nearby park on the Point has perhaps the most amazing view of Auckland out there (and a mini zip line!).

Easy access to public transportation and grocery store nearby. We also walked from downtown Auckland to the Garden Studio one day (1.5hrs at a leisurely pace) with little trouble. Did we mention the delicious coffee? Far enough away that you don't feel crowded in the center of the hustle and bustle, but close enough to get anywhere in Auckland.

All in all a wonderful first experience! Thanks!!
