Vanya's place was quiet and very well located, easy to walk to the harbor, to Auckland city center, or stay local in Ponsonby. There were tons of choices for restaurants or cafes within a 10 minute walk. Vanya was excellent to work with and a great host! Her instructions were clear, her home was clean, and she even left coffee and a bottle of wine for us to enjoy during our stay. We really enjoyed our time in Auckland and were happy to have this great place to stay.
