I arrived in Auckland during the worst rain event the city has had, massive flooding everywhere, which meant I was badly delayed in arriving, Samuel was very patient and waited for me. He was very concerned about my comfort and safety during the event and checked in to ensure all was ok, he was also very generous giving a very late check out due to my challenges in getting a flight out after the disruptions. He is an amazing host.
The place its self is perfectly located, quiet and peaceful but so close to great food, shopping and galleries, lovely outdoor area where you didn't feel you were in the middle of a city, bed was comfortable, internet was connection was really good, public transport close by. SO despite the weather and the limitations that created it was a great stay and I'd definitely go back!
