We loved staying at Karen and Steve's. Because there were three of us, it was great having two bedrooms and also a living area to spread out in. My niece particularly loved having a wash machine. But best of all was Steve and Karen's hospitality. They were great about recommending places to go and also were interested in getting to know us. They were also wonderful about helping me park the car since I wasn't used to manuevering my rental vehicle. All in all, we very much enjoyed our stay and I'd recommend them to anyone looking to stay in Auckland.
