Eric is the most conscientious host we have ever met. His generosity can be felt from the provision of linen to household slippers and toys, and the touches that make his house a home. while the house is not entirely new, it has the charm of an old house (love the windows and the deck!) and is clean, orderly and safe. the location is also perfect to explore Auckland, being halfway between the CBD and the airport, and so close to One Tree Hill and the great suburbs surrounding it. it's also nice and quiet.
