We were extremely lucky to be able to stay at Jo’s place during our time in Auckland! Jo and Ken are extremely friendly. Jo made an effort to come and greet us on our first day, and whenever they saw us walking by, they would never hesitate to say hi. Aside from that, the place is absolutely wonderful. The amount of space is perfect for 2. A small living room, one bedroom and one toilet. The location is also perfect. Many restaurants, 2 supermarkets, Lake Pupuke and multiple bus stops all within a 2-3 minute walk from Jo’s place. City is only about a 25minute bus ride away. Though the rain prevented us from going out often, we were lucky to have a beautiful place to stay in for meals. Since there were so many great restaurants around us, we were able to run out of the house for takeout and enjoy our food in the comfort of home. Thank you Jo and Ken for making our first visit to New Zealand an amazing one!
