I had reservations about trying AirBnB. However, I'll most likely be using them again, and definitely Mary's place when I travel to Auckland again. Good sized room, heaps of wardrobe space. Sliding doors out to the deck. Not sure if the spa was available or not but it was too hot to get in anyway.
Really close to where I was working and not far from shops and the airport but also a very quiet street.
Thank you :)
