David's place is quite close to Auckland city center. I had a rental car so going to town and the supermarket was no problem at all (and there is free street side parking at David's place), I don't know about public transport.

David offers a very clean and tidy home. All is wel maintained and the bed is just wonderful. David is helpful with planning your travel around NZ.

One of the things that made me stay at David's place was the kitchen. After one and a half months of Asia it was great to prepare a nice home cooked dinner (everything you might need is in the kitchen).
