Highly recommend it！Shane‘s house locats in a really quiet and beautiful community and also very convenient to city and mall. The room has an excellent view outside the window and its own bathroom and restroom which is very private. We have never been to Auckland before but Shane is extremely helpful and friendly, he gave us AT hop cards and tell us how to take a bus, he offered all the imformation about how to buy a car and how to get a bank account for a new comer in NZ. Shane prepared bread, milk, butter and juice for us, everything we need to have a nice breakfast. Though it's not a good idea to cook in the house 'cause Shane has a collection of arts you don't want to ruin it. BTW the laundry only takes 5 dollars. We had a perfect week here, big thanks to Shane.
