The location was great for us since we had a car. No need to meet Eric directly since he provides a code to get in the house so check in and check out is easy! The house was very clean with nice kitchen but the bathroom is dated. The standing shower is not large and the shower head is very low so if ur tall it can be unpleasant. It seems to be common in NZ to not have screens on the windows so bugs (mosquitos) can fly in at night. The house doesn’t have AC but does come with a fan. The washer and dryer is also available to use! A great bonus for us! All in all was great.
