Susan was a lovely host and I felt very comfortable in her home. The space was a great size, very clean and had all the amenities I needed. Parnell is a really nice suburb, with lots of cafes and independent shops. It's also a very short walk or a quick bus ride into the city centre, so the location was great. It's also a short ride down to Mount Eden, which is lovely spot to see sunrise!
Would highly recommend staying at Susan's place and I'd certainly book again if I came back to Auckland.
