Jan i s a wonderful host and the place was a perfect "home away from home." The apartment is super clean, and filled with great little touches. Two types of coffee, teas, toast, eggs, juice, milk, cookies, marmalade, bananas, butter, good quality shampoo and soap, etc. The bathroom is spacious and wonderful. The washer/dryer were a much appreciated extra, as I got to wash my hiking stuff and get ready for the second part of my trip. Jan was available for questions and suggested a great hike right outside of her house!!! There are miles nd miles of trails if you are into walks/hikes. The place is about 20 minutes by train from her home and Jan has the train schedule and all info in the apartment. If you are looking for a real feel of a home in a bucolic setting, yet close to the city, book this place. Oh and did I mention that I was a little nervous about catching my ferry on time early in the am, and Jan knocked to wake me up and escorted me to the ferry? I can't thank you enough Jan. Hope to be back in NZ and will visit you again!!!!
