Richard's place is perfectly located for airport transport (SkyBus stop is about 3 min walk), trains and buses into Auckland central and suburbs are also about 3 mins walk away.
We loved being near Mt Eden, in 15 brisk minutes you are at the top of the hill with amazing views over the city, and a 10 min walk you are at the lovely shops, cafes and restaurants in Mt Eden village.
The home is really well decorated, very clean and the double room with ensuite feels really luxurious with plush carpets, fluffy towels and a really, really comfy bed.
Kitchen facilities are brilliant, movies on TV a bonus.
Richard is a welcoming host, really informative about Auckland and NZ, and a really friendly guy, we loved our stay.
