Our stay with Bryan was just great! Everything was as described. He gave us a warm welcome and showed us around the house, so we didn't have to search for anything later. Everything was super clean and tidy. There was a table with many guides for Auckland and the surrounding area, as well as other parts of New Zealand, which is just great for planning. He also gave us some advice on where to get good food in the very close Ponsonby Road (literally not even 1 minute by foot), a very popular street with many shops, bars, and restaurants. He, and also Mary, were in general just super nice and very helpful. If you get the chance to stay here while visiting Auckland, you should definitely do so!
