My mother and I really enjoyed staying with Rosie and John at their beautiful home in Auckland. Rosie is a top (breakfast) chef and we greatly appreciated her cooking skills and conversation before exploring the city every day. I would note for future guests that the room shares the bathroom with potentially 4 other people (hosts and other airbnb guests). This wasn't a problem most of the time for us, but maybe other guests would prefer a private bathroom. Also we found the neighborhood convenient to get into downtown (there are around 5 buses which go downtown in 10 mins), but there wasn't much to do/eat in the (Chinese) neighborhood. Cornwall park, and One Tree Hill are quite close and beautiful to visit. We will definitely contact Rosie during our next visit and would recommend her place for weekend visits.
