About me: I’m a international student from the US attending Lincoln University.

Mansi was a lovely host! My needs were accommodated for and she would offer food and/or rides at times. I’m going to miss the apple tree! Her advice on where to purchase necessities was very helpful as a international student. We always had a lovely chat at night which was always a pleasure.
The yard area is tidy and peaceful. The house is further from the street so not much noise.
1 other guest was present but in an unattached space from the main home.
Sharing a bathroom was not an issue at all during this stay and a toiletries bin was provided.
A very short walk (2-3 min) to the 7 bus can take you north to the city center or south towards other suburbs.
A mall is close by car/bus transit, if going by foot then it may be around 30+ minutes.
Since I’m here for at least a year I do require a bit more space than the average tourist/backpacker so just keep that in mind.
Otherwise, lovely time!
