Spent a lovely 10 days at Ric's place whilst settling into Auckland. Location is good. Residential area and very quiet, but only a 15 minute walk to either Morningside or Grey Lynn. Ric was a very accomodating host, happy to talk and provide information about places in the area; and even invited me along whenever he was heading out anywhere, but also left me undisturbed when I needed quiet time. Would recommend to anyone spending time in Auckland, looking to avoid staying in the CBD or busy suburbs
