This was our first time with Airbnb and the experience was just awesome. We (young family of 3) stayed at Christine's place the last 3 nights of our NZ holiday. The location is great with Eastridge shopping centre at walking distance. The place is newly renovated, cleverly designed, immaculate and family friendly. There is a beautiful garden which is huge. Christine is a lovely person and a great host - very clear and accurate in the instructions yet a very warm and hospitable host. She provided invaluable suggestions, advice and tips on attractions, transport, directions and even shopping in/around Auckland. It was a pleasure to stay at Christine's - a perfect way to conclude our holiday. Highly recommended.
