My family and I (including 2 children) had relocated from Australia to Auckland, and we stayed at Ebba's place for close to 2 weeks. My husband works in the CBD and caught the bus into work each day quite easily (the bus is at the end of the street). There was also good access to cafes/ restaurants and the dairy.
Ebba's house is a lovely weatherboard cottage with polished floors throughout and a reasonably new bathroom and kitchen.
I would recommend this place.
