Bryan and Mary are great hosts. The house was very inviting and located just in the best neighbourhood of Auckland. The bus station of the direct bus to the city center is just 2 minutes away and the ride to the center takes only 10 minutes. Ponsonby with it's Restaurants and coffees is "the place" to be. Having breakfast with Bryans own honey and great coffee is a perfect start into the day. The room and the entire house were clean and just like on the photos. We would recommend this place for any one who plans to stay in Auckland.
