Linley's place is so amazing you won't want to leave! I could sit for hours just gazing out the windows at the view.I found everything about the place very comfortable and inviting and I'm a picky person. Linley goes above and beyond stocking her home with goodies and staples to satisfy a weary traveler. She was also so kind as to provide me with a few of her own jackets and scarf as Auckland was experiencing a sudden unusual cold spell. We loved the location. A bit quieter than across the bridge but with plenty of nearby restaurants and a well stocked convenience store right around the corner. The walk across the bridge toward the ferry building and lots of shops and restaurants is an easy stroll even for someone with foot issues. And it's a beautiful walk as well. The bed was super comfortable and the towel warmers keep the towels so toasty and soft. I tend to spend a bit of time lounging on my trips and the couch was perfectly comfy for doing just that. The building is very nice and feels very secure. One of my big issues can be noise but it was not a problem at all. At most a few squawking birds. If we're so lucky we will definetly be back.
