We stayed for one night in Susans b&b. We booked last minute, Susan responded quickly and we enjoyed our stay at her place. Susan even booked us a rather cheap taxi to the airport for the next day. The room is clean, spacious and has a nice bed and bathroom. The location of the b&b is good, not too far from the city center. In the evening we walked in 25 mins to the center for dinner. There are also some restaurants and bars closer to the b&b in Ponsonby itself.
