We stayed at Eric's house on 2 separate nights and really enjoyed it. The house was a comfortable size for our group of 8, with a cute interior. The beds were really comfortable too. The house was impeccably clean, with basic shower and shampoo along with fresh towels for everyone. Eric was a friendly host; though we never met him in person, he was always quick to respond to messages and queries. Our check-in was seamless and fuss-free. The house is conveniently located near a huge supermarket, so its easy to pick up some necessities if required. We drove, so commuting to and fro from the city and outskirts wasn't an issue. Would recommend it to anyone visiting auckland.
