I stayed at Erin's place for 6 weeks while on a work assignment. The home is comfortable and well appointed for a stay of any length. The location is perfect - near the city, but not in it, near the main highways, but none of the noise. A short walk in either direction to great restaurants, coffee shops and cute neighborhood shops. There is also a convenient grocery store, butcher baker and green grocer - all within a 5 minute walk. Access to the Auckland transit system is also super convenient! Erin responded to communications very quickly, and provided many great suggestions to do and see in the area. I will stay here again!
