I've arrived at time of Ray's final exams, so he was not as communicative as some might expect, but that was completely ok with me. I've had some troubles to check in, because the door bell was either not working or overheard and I couldn't contact him by phone (which was problem of my carrier). I had to find a wifi hotspot and use Airbnb message to get this sorted out.

The flat and the room are exactly as described, the bed is very soft, it might not be best choice for those who have problems with their backs. The bathroom is not connected to the room and is accesible through the flat's entry hall. The room is so-so to fit the bed and it takes some skill to move there comfortably, especially if you have big luggage. I appreciated the large working desk, though.

I won't comment Ray as host because he was obviously busy. Instead of some basic introduction to the city I've found dozen of brochures from travel agencies prepared on the desk (maybe left by previous guests). But I came to Auckland for business reasons and the flat location was for me more important than social interactions.

If you are looking for a more quiet place in walking distance from centre, this one might suit you very well.
