We had a wonderful stay in Ulrich and Sigrid's apartment. The apartment was well appointed with plenty of light both natural and electric. It was spacious and the kitchen was well equipped. It was a treat to walk out to their veggie garden and play with the puppy they are training for Guide Dogs for the Blind! We appreciated their suggestions for hiking (don't miss Rangitoto Island) and transportation (they are very close to a train station). Ulrich and Sigrid are very warm and welcoming hosts. Highly recommended!
