Arturo was a fantastic host, very friendly and accommodating. His apartment's location is right smack where all the shops and eating places in Ponsonby Road are, and even the bus stop is just in front of his building. He also has 2 basement parking spaces available for guests, which my sister and daughter used when they stopped by for a visit. The bedroom with the ensuite and deck is on the third floor of his apartment, very well-equipped with a big, comfy bed and all the mod cons. Didn't need to use the kitchen, although it looked like Arturo has all the gadgets and utensils to make a fabulous cooked meal, as I just decided to sample the different food varieties on offer at the nearby eateries. Overall, an excellent stay (aside from all the stairs I needed to traverse to get to the bedroom!). ;-)
