Sarah was a fantastic host! She was very responsive and even waited up for us to get in as our flight was delayed on the night of our arrival. Her place is exactly as described. The location is great with public transit right outside and the walk into the CBD is only about 25-30 mins or less. There are a lot of great restaurants and shopping in her area. If you're in the area on the weekend there is a great little farmers market at the Parnell library which is a block away. The museum and park are also only blocks away. All in all her apartment is in an excellent location to take on the sights, eateries, and shops. I would definitely recommend staying with Sarah and stay here again when we visit Auckland in the future.
