My fiancé and I stayed at Aileen's place right after taking four different flights from the U.S. to New Zealand. We were a mess and exhausted, so having Aileen's place close to the airport was perfect for us. Aileen's helper was very sweet and made sure we knew everything about the place when we arrived. She was also very gracious about our late arrival into Auckland.
The place was clean, charming, and just what we needed. Plenty of stores within a short walk or you can take the bus downtown if that's more to your liking. We would highly recommend this place!
