I stayed with Fiona for 1 months, and i had a wonderful time during my stays. Fiona is very warm and friendly person who makes me feel at home, she always happy to help me if I need her helps. In the weekends, she even cooked a delicious breakfast and dinner for me.
Moreover, the house is very tidy, very clean and the view from the deck was amazing. It's located in a safe neighbourhood. In additions, 2 mins walk to bus station or 10 mins walk to ferry from the house, so it's very convenient to access public transport if you need it.
Overall, I was very happy to stay with Fiona. I believe that she will do everything to make your stay confortable and with a good experience. I strong recommend her place as your choice if you come to Auckland.
