We really enjoyed our stay in Tanya and Tony's studio, which was just as described - cosy, well- equipped and suited for a couple with a child. The bedding was very good, with loads of extra blankets, pillows and towels. The organic bathroom staples were also very appreciated. The area is lovely and quiet, with a few nice cafés, bars, small shops (try "Presentz" for tons of lovely, original gifts) and a great organic grocery store ("Huckleberry") only 5 mns' walk away. This was just what we wanted/needed at the end of our day-trips, notably after the hustle and bustle of Queen Street! No car needed in our view, except if you're planning to go out regularly at night in winter further than the Grey Lynn area, or if you don't want to spend 30 mn on the bus to come back from the CBD. Communication with our hosts was very easy, and we found all the practical information we needed in the studio (guidebooks, maps, Tanya's picks in Auckland, and more), so thanks again Tanya and Tony! We would definitely recommend your place and would love to come again.
