I could not have asked for a better first experience using airbnb. The home was everything it was advertised to be. Quiet clean and very close to transit. The host GERI and her sweet dog Frisby were so friendly and welcoming. I was in Auckland to compete in the World Masters Games. Having a comfortable and convenient place to stay took some of the stress of the competition away. I would highly recommend Geri's place. She really made my trip even better than expected. I plan on returning to Auckland in the future and hope she still is taking on guest then because I would certainly stay again.
