Vanya's place is exactly what we needed for our stay and is exactly what airbnb is all about - we were delighted to be hosted in her place while she was gone and we really got the local experience. the apartment is completely comfortable, clean, and well equipped. parking was easy as we had a car, the internet was fast and reliable which was important as we were planning the rest of our NZ trip. we communicated with vanya and received recommendations for things to do in Auckland in particular and NZ in general. 5 star - absolutely recommended to anyone looking for a place in Auckland.
