Chloe and Andrew are very welcoming. It was a pleasure to stay with them and their two daughters for these few weeks. I felt part of The family, while being able to enjoy a lot of privacy. The neighbourhood is very calm and pleasant, although a bit far from the city centre. You'd be better off with a car. The homestay is very close to the Waitakere ranges and west coast beaches. I would definitely recommend for a few days or longer stays.
