Place is in a sought after area and is in a perfect position. Cafes and Restaurants handy as well as very close to the city. Bryan is a great host. He has described correctly - stairs to loft are steep and space is a loft so sloping low ceiling. But you have use of the kitchen dining area for coffee, tea and breakfast and that space is a wide open space. We were out and about and just needed the loft to sleep in. We were there at the end of June and lucky to have sun flooding onto the front deck so we sat and enjoyed coffee there. When we go back to Auckland for a few days visit we would definitely book again.
