I stayed at Jannette's house for a week. The bed is super comfortable and the house is so clean. Besides, this place is quiet and convenience. The Wattle Bay and Waikowhai Park is quite close. After a few minutes' walk, you can take 267 bus to the city. Also, there is a nice Indian restaurant nearby and a countdown supermarket 1.4km away.
Jannette is so friendly and helpful. She even helped me with my English and corrected my pronunciation when we watched the news together. And her dog, Boss, is a big and strong boy who doesn't bark a lot. Sometimes, when you sit at the dinner table, he likes to put his head on your leg. Because he just wanna you to touch him.
Overall, I would recommend Jannette's house for staying in Auckland. :)
