Mark was there to receive me at his beautiful home. He immediately made me feel welcome. The bedroom was very comfortable, a bit cold, but the the electric blankets in the bed kept me warm. The bathroom was spacious and beautiful. The wifi was fast and reliable. Mark had the best breakfast selection of any Airbnb I've stayed, and he even made me dinner one night--the best burger I had in New Zealand, even better than Fergburger in Queenstown :) He was very generous with his time and he even gave me some books from his shelf! As a writer and avid reader, that meant a lot to me! The location was great, close to the botanical gardens, just around the corner from the cable car. If the cable car is closed, you feel a bit isolated on top of the hill, but CBD is just a quick uber ride away! Mark is very gregarious and invited me to join his friends for dinner my first night. I was expecting my time at Mark's to be quieter, per the other reviews, but if you like having company, Mark is great company! If you want it quiet, he can leave you alone, too!
