Falgun and Sangita are the loveliest people we have stayed with on Airbnb. They really go out of their way to make you feel at home and are really helpful with directions and transport tips for getting about in Auckland.
If you have a car and are planning to base yourself in Auckland for a while then their place would be a great fit for you.
Also if you want a bit more of a chilled out time (instead of partying in Hostels) then the transportation within the city is adequate enough for you to base yourself here. Do not expect to be within walking distance of any of the sights though (again, that is where the car comes into it).
The room that you stay in is spacious and there is a great bathroom, kitchen area and shower along with an outdoor deck to have a meal on or relax during a sunny day.
Overall, as a quiet and comfy retreat, you could not hope for a better place to temporarily call home and for certain, we will be staying with them again.
