Great host. Home is in a great neighborhood (walk to everywhere) and is a really cool spot with a great set-up inside - loft style, hardwood floors, new TV, etc.

Only consideration would be that it is super noisy inside the apartment. I'm used to noisy urban settings as I've lived in NYC and currently live in downtown Miami...this is a different level of loud. The bedroom is on the ground level and you hear every word of the people walking on the side walk 4 feet away from you. Also the apartment next door had a party till 3am and was exceptionally loud.

Great place to stay if you're in Auckland for a weekday or stay out late on weekends. Wouldn't stay here if you plan on going to bed before 2am on a weekend.
