The place is a guest house in the back of the main home. There is no laundry and only a mini fridge shared by three people. There is a bus stop nearby however everything worth exploring requires a vehicle. A bike is a good idea for getting food, grocery shopping and possibly work. Bike paths and sidewalks are along almost every road. Nice quiet suburb nearby the city center. Not much nightlife but can explore ponsby if you want something low key. The hosts are very friendly and are willing to pick/drop off at the airport.
