The host was an excellent communicator. The room has a comfortable bed and nice clean separate ensuit. Kitchen and living area was clean and tidy, and shared with host who was very unobstrusive, but pleasant when there. The apartment is on 9th floor and the parking was just fine. Very handy to central city and there is a nice view over part of central Auckland city including the Sky Tower. Thanks Alan. You are a great host. Only downside is lack of TV. For me no problem, for others it might be.
