We had a wonderful stay at Debbie's place and we would wholeheartedly recommend staying with her.
Debbie is very welcoming and makes you feel very much at home, friendly and easy to chat with, and rich with recommendations to help navigate the city and further afield.
The room was clean and comfortable and guest are welcome to use the kitchen and the living spaces which were large, light and well-equipped.
The location was great, very close to Ponsonby Street with lots of great bars and restaurants, and also close to the CBD so easy to go into town.
We also enjoyed having cuddles with the cats and the dog, which was a definite plus for us :)
