It was a great experience, one of the best I have had in a BnB setting and quite a memorable one. I highly recommend this to anyone seeking to stay in Auckland. There is always a personal touch associated with Bed 'n Breakfast than a hotel, and this house is strong on that one.

Sarah is a great host. She makes you feel at home right from start. The house is located in a quite a halyconic environs, right next to a park; also it is quite quiet here with only birds chirping every now and then. As description states, it is Art Deco in nature with high quality wooden flooring and furniture. There is also a nice backyard with a hammock and flowering plants (and privacy!). Shopping centres are right on next block on Broadway/New Market/Parnell. Attractions like museum are also close, there are also bus stops near by.

For those renting a car (or having one), there is free parking available (something that is not a common place in Auckland). The neighborhood is also quite nice, the neighbors are quite friendly.

Sarah is also receptive to any feedback and likes talking to guests whenever time permits. As the description states, she enjoys showing guests around and cooking delicious meals for them. She also provides necessary maps and details on attractions close by. Knowing a resident in a new city is a big plus, and it is true in this case as well.

Regarding the room, the bed is really nice (New Zealand is known for wool!), there is plenty of space for storage. The room (and house in general) also has plenty of interesting books on NZ. The WiFi is also really good, considering the quality of WiFi in most/all hotels, this is a big plus. The bathroom has all amenities like washing machine etc..

To conclude, I don't often leave review for hotel or any BnB stays, the fact that I am leaving quite a prolix one should indicate the level of satisfaction and joy that I experienced staying at 5/8 Sarawia Street.
One can always contact me for more details, if needed, from perspective of a guest.
