Sue was a gracious host in helping us figure out how to get around Auckland. She even drove us to a few spots since it was about to storm. Wish we were visiting during warmer weather to enjoy her garden and deck. We had our private area of the house with bedroom, bathroom and kitchen downstairs, but Sue was still totally accessible upstairs if we needed her for anything. Her cute neighborhood was removed enough from downtown to not worry about noise or parking, but still accessible via bus.
