This is a very nice and cozy place. Hinemoa was very proactive in reaching out to us. There were no last minute surprises. Unfortunately we were unable to meet her in person because we were arriving pretty late in the evening. However, she was able to accommodate this very well - she left self-check-in instructions that were clear and easy to follow. I did have a question about the wi-fi password, which she responded to immediately. The home was well decorated and the furniture was neat and tasteful. There were neat little labels on things about what to do/not do - This my family and I really appreciated. They have a lovely garden and it is only a short-ish walk to the waterfront.
As she does mention in the description, in some places the wall is a little thin/her living space is separated from the guest's by only a door, so some noise from both sides will leak over. However, there was no problem as the noises seemed to subside at an early hour at night.
Overall it was a very pleasant stay and I thank her for sharing her space with us.
