John's place was everything we expected and more. John was very easy to contact and extremely responsive. During our entire stay he was only a text away. John greeted us at the house when we arrived and showed us around his place. The house was extremely clean and he has really thought of all the details. Both beds have heated blankets, he had towel warmers on in the bathroom, he provided some snacks and breakfasts foods as well as coffee, tea and milk for us! The house is spacious and comfortable and the location is great! There are tons of shops and restaurants within walking distance and the city center is only a quick drive away. It was the ideal place for our time in Auckland!
