Gretchen made myself and my two girlfriends feel completely at home in her gorgeous villa. We had everything we needed - house guide, heaps of fresh fluffy towels, and all essentials. The kitchen and bathroom are well equipped with everything you need. Communication with Gretchen was excellent, and she even gave us extra recommendations for local shopping. Access to the house is very easy. The house itself is in a really quiet, peaceful area, yet so close to Ponsonby road and all its' treasures. The decor is lovely, and overall the vibe is very relaxing. The back deck is perfect for an evening wine! We only wished it were cooler, so we could've relaxed by the fire. Can't wait to visit again.
