Based on the reviews, we had high expectations for our stay at Colleen's place in Auckland. Our whole experience there was even better than we had expected. Although the apartment is not huge, the owners have made maximum use of the space providing lots of nice extras. From the eco friendly soaps and detergents to the provision of Greek Yoghurt, milk, cheese, muesli and granola cereal and orange juice, Colleen and Steven provided many nice touches to make our stay enjoyable. Colleen even gave us a ride into town one morning to connect with a tour we had booked. They let us start our stay there early on the day of our arrival, and let us use their washer and dryer, and the new Weber barbeque they had purchased for the use of guests. They provided very helpful local tips, which led to enjoyable outings. They were always available to answer our questions. We could not have asked for better hosts in our 4 night stay at their place. Highly recommended!
