Johns place was perfect for me! The location is really great, it’s walkable to a lot of downtown attractions which is quite convenient. It’s also near bus lines. Johns home is quite lovely and very comfortable. I love that there is a balcony. I stayed at Johns place during the month long COVID lockdown, rather than staying in a hotel, and I’m so glad I did. It was so much more comfortable staying in a lovely home than in a less homey hotel room. I like to walk and run and there are a number of parks within walking distance to Johns home, it’s also close enough to the harbor that I could run along the boardwalk. There are a few grocery stores close by and a lot of restaurants. I always felt safe walking in the neighborhoods and the community itself is safe with a number of security gates before you enter Johns unit. John was always easily accessible if I had questions about anything. I can highly recommend staying at Johns place if you’re in Auckland!
