We stayed at Rhona's place for a long weekend in Auckland, the neighborhood is a great spot and not far to walk to Ponsonby road with lots of bars, cafes and restaurants. The only downside to this place is that you are in a self contained appartment under their house and you can hear everything upstairs, they are not excessively noisy at all it's just you can hear everything from their telly to the dog walking around. Everything else was perfect and a nice place to stay in Auckland.
