Gill was the perfect hostess, with a style to match "uber chic" Ponsonby.

The villa "ticked all the right boxes" - cosy, clean, welcoming, comfortable, with quality furnishings and linen. A charming garden and outdoor setting topped off the list.

A great working holiday thanks to Gill and her hospitality. I have left Auckland enlightened in Kiwi culture and customs.

Once again airbnb has delivered the ultimate travel experience, living with real people, not an empty hotel room.
