Sue was such a wonderful host. She is a very friendly & funny woman and made us feel welcome (her dog Sam is great too). Her house is cute and the accommodations are great for a house guest (and the bed is comfortable). She's located a close walk to fun Ponsonby and a 10 min walk to the buses (public transport is limited in general), but we enjoyed walking everywhere and it's all very easy to do. We highly recommend staying with Sue!
