Excellent location, clean and comfortable accommodation. Hal was a fantastic host and could not have been more helpful and really helped me during my stay. Good quality towels, bed linen and items provided in the kitchen and bathroom meant the stay was very easy. It was perfect for what I needed.
Due to a prolonged stay and a long flight from the UK, Hal provided me with a few items to get my stay started which was such a kind gesture. If I had any problems they were fixed quickly, e.g. the hair dryer broke down and Hal made sure my girlfriend had a new one by the next day. I only had a big suitcase, and Hal was kind enough to lend me a bag for weekend travel, so if you need anything just ask as Hal has been the most responsive and helpful host I have had.
I would offer two points to help other guests, the accommodation space is unique with the bed arrangement. I found it cosy and really quite liked it. However it might not be suitable for people with mobility issues so I hope this review helps.
Additionally as mentioned on other reviews, it does get very loud at weekends particularly at night due to the location and a bar opposite. It personally did not affect me too much as I was often out myself. However this is due to the central location which is perfect, and it really does help been near everything it saved so much time and effort while in Auckland. It is also a 10-15 minute walk to four hire car companies which was super handy for exploring and a 10 minute walk to the ferry terminal for exploring.
