SUMMARY: Super high quality, with a brilliant personal touch.

This is a really easy review to write: the whole experience was simply perfect. Amy's flat exceeded expectation on every level. She was incredibly helpful and informative prior to my arrival. She, and her lovely family, were welcoming and solicitous during my stay, and clearly take a personal interest in their visitors on a 'human' level. The flat is impeccably tidy, modern and clean, and I lacked nothing. She even provided some basics like tea, coffee, cereals, milk as a starter pack.

I work in travel, and was travelling for work reasons - this was just a perfect solution for me. But equally, I would not hesitate to come here with my wife too. I have experienced many types of accommodation but I found this hard to beat.

The amenities are of excellent quality, and the shower is better than my own. The little garden is a great bonus for sitting in with a cup of tea. Anyone feeling nervous has no worries as it is thoroughly secure behind electronic gates in a safe residential neighbourhood.

The location is sleepy and peaceful. The Orakei station is a brilliant service into town (breakfast at the Greenfingers Cafe in the garden centre along the way) and Remuera has plenty of eateries.

I would definitely return here if in Auckland again, and would recommend to anyone.
