Shona and John are perfect hosts and the accommodation is perfect. I have been here for a few weeks and the space has not felt to small - as the Three Bears story says - It is just right. The garden is a sanctuary and the big windows ensure the space feels light and friendly. I have developed new cooking styles and find the lack of hot plate or oven is not a problem. The other options are good. Shona and John are available to offer support and advice including good places to take my 3 year old granddaughter. Eels at Churchill park. They are unobtrusive but available hosts. I would very highly recommend this Airbnb and intend to come back again. A perfect location for an Auckland sojourn.
