As described and commented by other visitors this is a very cozy house slightly south of Auckland downtown that really meets the description. We stayed there with our 2 kids for a week. Bus connections are perfect, restaurants in walking distance. The park can be accessed from the garden, both were wonderful for our kids, in particular the playground at the opposite corner of the park. The huge 3D TV with netflix, 3D glasses, blueray disc player and DVD collection were impressive. The kitchen was fully equipped including a variety of food in the larder and some fresh food in the fridge as a welcome. The coffee selection with the various types of colored coffee-capsules was great. Mark was always rapidly responding, and even managed to arrange a personal visit to greet, where he also showed us the "secret drawer" with kids toys and gave some valuable advice about the AT-HOP card. This was our first AirBnB booking and we were really happy to find this accomodation.
