Lou Lou is a wonderful host, and I highly recommend her as an Airbnb host. The room was exactly as advertised, and really the perfect size for what I needed. I loved our evenings chatting, drinking wine, and playing with her little loves Blondie and Dusty. Lou Lou is exactly what I feel makes Airbnb so brilliant, particularly for international travelers. She really makes you feel welcome and shares her home, and as she is a local, I feel like I left with a small sense of what life is like in Auckland. Plus, you can't beat the neighborhood, as the location is great for heading into the city center.
