Brenda’s little suite was great for our stay. Clean, comfortable, and totally self-contained. Brenda was lovely and communication with her was good. Friendly puppy and cats are were a cute bonus!
The suite is directly below Brenda’s living space and can be noisy at times, especially first thing in the morning. If you are an early riser this shouldn’t be an issue.
Location is good for the price, not far from the CBD. It is a good 15-20 min walk to the train station but bear in mind that Auckland is very hilly so it is a bit of a hike. If you have a car, the street is quite narrow and parking can be tricky. Word of advice....as for the rest of the city, never park near any driveway (within 1 meter), even if you have been given permission to park there from the home owner. The city will tow you. Unfortunately I learned this the hard way.
