Taz was a wonderful host! From the moment I booked his communication was excellent, and once I arrived, he was so helpful, thoughtful and kind. He always made sure that I had everything I needed for a good stay, and is very knowledgeable about Auckland and what to visit.
Don't let the couch bed situation keep you from booking. It's very cozy and the house is quiet. I slept well every night.
The location is optimal; right by a bike/walking trail. You can walk to downtown, the harbor, the bus stop, an area with restaurants and shops, beautiful parks and beaches. I really enjoyed my stay.
