The main positive things I liked about our stay was the central, convenient location in the CBD in Auckland, and the comfort of the mattresses you provided. I definitely got a good nights sleep.
I also liked how the hosts were OK with having leftover food left in the fridge, that felt less wasteful than chucking it out!
However there were a few things we noticed:
The vacuum cleaner didn't work - however when I informed the hosts - thankfully vacuuming wasn't a hard requirement for checking out, so not the end of the world.
There was also no salt/pepper in the shakers so we had to grab some seasoning on our own.
Prior to our booking we enquired if our 8 passenger rental Hyundai IMAX people mover would fit in
the car park. We were told that it "should be OK so long as we would park in between the outlines".
We understand that the listing said it would fit "up to medium sized cars only, and most family SUVs would be ok". However just to be sure, we enquired with the hosts directly (as above) on AirBNB to checks
When time came and we arrived, we had a go trying to park the Hyundai in said carpark. When it became apparent that it would be a tight fit, we had to see-saw the vehicle out in order to get it out safely to avoid damaging the wooden beam and the vehicle. Thankfully no damage occured, however without the guidance of a friend it was also equally likely that this could have ended badly, so we opted to park in a secure carpark at our expense.
The other issue we encountered was locating the gate for entry to the basement carpark. We arrived in darkness so admittedly it was difficult to locate and make out the gate entrance. We had to call Peter to get additional help but thankfully we figured it out in the end. The added burden of it being a one way street made it more difficult as well!
Despite our difficulties, when we informed the hosts (Peter and Nichola) they were apologetic about this.
