An amazing room and a great host!
The room is so spacious that I spent heaps of time in it on some days. The mattress is super comfortable and sufficient pillows provided for a cosy sleep. It was winter and the electric blanket was great for cold nights. There is plenty of storage and because I like to be neat, I could put my things away neatly. There is a work desk for my laptop and books which I truly appreciated. The nook was my favourite spot in the room for reading and watching online TV.
The bathroom is modern and clean. If there are guests in the other room it becomes a shared bathroom and you might need to figure out bathroom schedules.
There is ample space in the fridge and pantry and David has a fully equipped kitchen which is available for guests to use for cooking up meals.
David was very kind to drive me to Mt Eden and around Auckland City for a private tour. He is very knowledgeable about Auckland and he shared his knowledge generously.
The house is a 12-min walk to Morningside Train station and the train ride into the city (Britomart) is only 20mins. If you enjoy walking it is also possible to walk to the city.
I enjoyed my stay very much and would recommend David's place in a heartbeat!
