I often have to head up to Auckland for meetings (and pre-Covid, too many overseas trips and hotels) and have burned out on hotels for so many reasons. The primary reason I look for an AirBnB is for quiet, calm space that is also close to amenities and where I need to be. John's place ticked all the boxes plus more. The pictures and description do not do it justice! Not only is it truly super quiet, but the spaces are generous, comfortable, and so many small things (eg fan for white noise if you need it, flashlights for outside, breakfast, coffee, hairdryer, condiments in the fridge for toast, yum!). I have met many people in all of my travels and John is truly a caring, generous person. I highly recommend staying!
