We had an amazing stay at Rose's place! My husband and I stayed for 5 nights and we were blown away with the accommodations and Rose's hospitality. The unit itself has many features that make you feel like you're coming home. After two weeks of traveling we were delighted to arrive and find little details such as breakfast items in the kitchenette, tea bags and a Nespresso machine, a thoughtfully laid out floor plan, high end furnishings, and a spotlessly clean space. The unit has a lot of natural lighting and a view of Mount Eden from the bathroom window. Although the unit is on top attached to Rose's garage, it feels very private. It was a much needed oasis after days of airports/taxis etc.
You also can't beat the location. It's a short walk up to many coffee shops/cafes, bars/restaurants, shops etc. You could spend a whole weekend there without leaving the neighborhood. You can also walk from the apartment up to the top of Mount Eden which gives you 360 degree views of Auckland. There is a bus stop at the end of the block, but we chose to Uber or walk most days. It was an easy 10-15 minute drive to the waterfront.
On top of it all, Rose was a pleasure to chat with and communication was prompt via the AirBnB app. We would definitely stay again.
