Fay's house is on a quiet street in a very nice part of Auckland. I was able to get a good sleep and had plenty of privacy. It was just over 10 mins walking to Parnell Road where there are lots of good places to eat. I was also able to walk to the museum and Parnell Rose Garden. There are buses into the central city but I walked and it took 40mins downhill on the way there and uphill on the return. Fay was very nice and her little dog was very cute and energetic. I appreciated having my own private en suite bathroom. As a woman staying on my own I felt very safe walking home alone in the evening in this neighborhood.
