My wife and I recently stayed 6 weeks at the Sunny, Garden Facing Flat for the birth of our granddaughter. Our stay was more than we had hoped for. Helen and Andy are lovely hosts. Upon our arrival, Helen met us and let us in. We found flowers on the kitchen table, cereal, bread, jam and yogurt which were very welcome after our all night flight. It's the little touches that add so much to a stay. The patio deck overlooking the terraced garden, full of roses, was perfect for coffee in the morning and relaxing in the afternoon after a day of exploring. Epsom is a beautiful neighborhood to walk about, close to small shops and cozy eateries. We did not have a car and explored all around Auckland via bus routes which are located very nearby. The flat itself is quite spacious for two people, with very comfortable beds (ours were moved together to make a king bed) and chairs for watching TV in the evenings. A separate kitchen has everything we needed for preparing meals. We expected a washing machine, but also having a dryer is a real plus. Andy showed us how to use the gas grill on the deck. We grilled salmon one afternoon and ate it on the table outside. It truly felt like home. We could go on and on. In short, this flat is wonderful and as hosts Helen and Andy are exceptional. We highly recommend the flat and the hosts.
