Michael's place was a welcome site after a long day of traveling. It's a lovely, quiet suburb of Auckland, but fairly quick walk to the train and bus stop, and found our favorite coffee shop near the Ponsonby stop! The flat was clean, comfortable and felt very private. Quite roomy as well - large bedroom and living area, great modern bathroom. He was super responsive and helpful as I was trying to communicate on wifi only once arriving. He was flexible on check in and check out times due to our early flight time as well. Everything you could ask for in a host!
