Abbie & Simon's studio was clean and perfect for a one night stay in Taupo. It's about a 10 minute drive to the Taupo centre, and communication from Abbie & Simon was great. Unfortunately we didn't get to meet, but check in instructions were clear, and you could easily self check in. It's great for a short stay, as the kitchenette stove and sink is portable - so probably not ideal for a longer stay. We only stayed for a night, so this cozy studio was perfect for us.
