The studio is excellent, very close to Auckland City but also less than an hour's drive to the west coast beaches (which we really loved). The place itself was really clean and tidy upon arrival, and in spite of us turning up a little earlier than planned Jitka was so kind and ahead of the game! The bed was super comfy, the kitchen with everything you need to cook up a cosy meal and the bathroom fresh and modern. I loved the little added extras of a book of Auckland on the bedside table (perfect to flip through for travellers like us) and the kitchen already equipped with breakfast foods and a selection of teas and coffees. We also felt secure as the studio is at the back of the house, and Jitka assured us we could drop her a message or knock on the door at any time. Thanks so much for your stay, 5 stars!!!
