Sarath and his wife are great hosts! All the questions that I have, he answered pretty quickly and everything that I needed they provided. The room is big and clean, with a nice desk and place to store your food. The neighbourhood is calm, for me was perfect, because I was looking for a relaxing time in Auckland. There is a bus stop near the house, that takes you to Newmarket and the train station that takes you to CBD (just one stop). From the house to the train station, there is a beautiful view of the bay, worthy for walking mournings! I really enjoyed my stay there!
