Shannon and her husband was such a great host! They were very accomadating and made us feel very welcome while also giving us our privacy which is ideal as we are a young couple.The studio itself is in the back of their house with it's own entrance which was a must for us as we would come and go alot. The studio itself is awesome. It has a separate living room which is great if someone wants to watch tv while someone else sleeps in the other room. The kitchen itself has microwave toaster fridge sink dishes and basic condiments as well as breakfast items which was a real plus! The studio was also super modern and was a great place to just relax after a long day out while watching full cable tv which you don't find in many other places.Also the wifi had great reception. The location of the studio was also ideal. It is super close to Takapuna Auckland which is a great place to spend the day shopping and hanging out on the beach. They also have so many great restaurants from Malaysian to sushi and bars and grills. It also has a popping night life on Saturday's! It is also very close to downtown Auckland! We stayed in tons of Airbnbs while traveling all over the north island for a few weeks and this was one of our favorite places to stay.I would Definetly recommend booking this place, you really won't regret it!
