Lisa & Evan are lovely hosts who showed concern for us as we sat through two catastrophic hurricanes within the 3 weeks we were in Auckland. It would have been helpful if the description of their place had strongly recommended that visitors have a car. We had to deal with bus schedules, a steep hill to climb to reach one of the bus stops, interruptions to bus & train services due to bad weather, etc. We are not accustomed to hearing noise from the apartment above us at home as we did at this place, especially early in the mornings. Lisa was especially helpful in my dealing with AirBnB over an additional payment….
