I spent three weeks at Kelly's place after moving to Auckland.
The location is very convenient with a bus stop close by and a big shopping mall a 10-minute walk away.
The room was tidy and had nice amenities. Both the bed and the sofa were very comfortable. The shower was big and had excellent water pressure. It was extremely convenient that you could do laundry too, especially for a longer stay!
Kelly was very friendly, responsive and helpful -- I couldn't have asked for a better host. There was a huge storm (apparently the wettest day on record!) the last night I stayed, and Kelly and her partner made sure I got to my new apartment safely, which I appreciate a lot.
All in all, I had a great stay and fully recommend this place to others looking for a short or long-term stay on the North Shore!
