Alison is a gracious, charming, and thoughtful host who works hard to anticipate her guests needs. Her beautiful home is in one of Auckland's established leafy suburbs; close to everywhere we wanted to go, but a haven of serenity during the day and quiet at night. We had a car, and there was always plenty of safe parking on the street outside. Finally, we very much appreciated the provisions that Alison left for us in the fridge for breakfast. Thank you so much.
