We stoped at Lava's place for one night on the way from Wellington to Auckland. Self check-in is quite easy. The location is good, close to Westfield and grocery store. And the studio is spacious and clean, with a small kitchen and essential cutlery. It even has a laundry room which exceed our expectation. The only trouble is that the water pressure is too weak and the water is either too hot or too cold. Overall, we are very happy about staying at Lava's house.
