I had a great stay at Sarah's place!
The guest bedroom and bathroom are both separated from the rest of the apartment by a door so there's lots of privacy and you really get your own space. I didn't use them much, but the shared areas (kitchen and living area) were both really nice and clean. The bed was really comfortable and despite being right in central Auckland, it was pretty quiet at night (any noise was easily covered by the fan provided in the room). The location also can't be beat; the apartment is within walking distance of countless amazing restaurants, cafes, and attractions.
Sarah was a really great host. She was very accommodating when I asked to check in early and check out late. We only crossed paths a couple times but it was nice to have someone to talk when being a solo traveler in a new city.
If you don't want to spend $200/night to stay in a private apartment, I'd highly recommend staying here!
