This was a great way for us to begin our trip. From the beginning to the end of our stay Judi was most accommodating. We stayed three days and felt at home - just like visiting a long lost relative. It is close to the train to go downtown, as well as other public transportation. We hit the local coffee place Petit Coco (I hope I got that right) - go there for one of the best cups of coffee Auckland has to offer!! Our plane arrived early in the morning and we were able to get into the room right away to freshen up and get changed. I found the bed very comfortable and pillows were great for a good night's sleep. So much appreciated...fast response time and just a home away from home for us. Thanks again!!
