Kazumi and Ray greeted us shortly after we arrived. They gave us a really great raisin bread loaf. We had a nice conversation as well. The apartment is about a 15 minute walk to downtown, and a very short walk to Taupo Lake. The apartment is large. The only shortfall was the lack of power plugs, which a few power strips could help. There is no power socket in the bathroom. Overall a comfortable and convenient place to stay with very nice hosts.
