Karin was a warm and friendly host. She met us on arrival and made my husband I feel enormously welcome- she invited us in for a glass of wine and offered for us to knock on her door for a chat anytime over a cup of coffee.
Karin's Cockle Bay Studio was exactly as listed- it is well appointed, super neat and clean and in a quiet residential area. The apartment is attached to Karin's house but entirely private so that guests can come and go as they please. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Karin's studio to others or in staying again next time I am in Auckland. Thanks again Karin!
