Both Brendon and Sali made us feel welcome and offered to help with suggestions and advice. They were also super responsive to requests or suggestions. I didn't do much research prior to our stay on the location as this was just a quick stop prior to departing NZ but the location was fantastic for doing Auckland things and in a great neighborhood. Very central for getting to the close by beach areas, downtown to see the sights and then to the airport the next day. The unit is fully self contained and separate from the house providing good separating. Lots of decks. We highly recommend the unit and the hosts.

I do note that there are several stairs down (at least 12) to the unit so if you have heavy luggage or are physically challenged it may not be the right place.

Highly recommended and we would happily stay here again when and if we return to Auckland.
