We came to stay for just one night for a concert at the Powerstation event venue which is literally no more than five minutes walk away. There were quite few places to eat within a few minutes walk, we only had time to try one, the very busy pizzeria Al Colo, just up from the Powerstation venue at the top of Mount Eden Road. We were much later arriving at Terry's than we expected, and Terry was good enough to try and contact us to make sure we weren't having trouble with the remote access that had been arranged prior. Terry was courteous and obliging, respected our privacy, and overall a great host with a spotlessly presented apartment in a very handy location. Thoughtful touches such as a water jug and sweets in room were well received. Not so well received was the 4.30am wake-up call due to a fire alarm activation which had us out in the street watching the local fire service deal to what appeared to be , thankfully, a false alarm, can't blame that on Terry though! In hindsight did lend a somewhat memorable edge to the short stay.
Breakfast was just what I liked, a simple and good continental, with classic choices of beverages and cereals. Adjacent to the apartment is a good sized inner city park, perfect if you're looking for a short stroll for a stretch after a hard night out or a long trip, or simply needing some fresh air. This was our first Air BnB experience, wasn't sure what to expect, sharing a personal space with someone you have never met, but whilst we only spent a short time in Terry's company, the experience was more pleasurable than I expected. Would recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a shared apartment style inner city living space with a convivial host.
