We had a great stay with David while attending a wedding at the Auckland Zoo (within walking distance, which was very handy). David was a friendly host and the house and room are lovely. There are also really nice restaurants and cafes nearby. We can recommend Sake Bar 601 in the shops near the Morningside station and Shaky Isle's cafe further up the road in Kingsland. David's place is within easy walking distance of the station which made getting around easier. We would definitely like to stay with David again next time we are in Auckland.
