Din's place is fantastic for visitors to Auckland and she is a terrific host - warm, engaging, personable and very accommodating. The location is excellent, literally a few minutes walk to the Newmarket Station for train access and to Broadway for bus access, so you have the benefits of the quiet of a "suburb" while being able to make it to Britomart or Ponsonby, for example, with a variety of public transport options. In addition, there is parking available, which is a terrific plus. The private room is the entire 2nd floor, with a large bathroom and ample closet space, and is also very quiet as it is on a cul-de-sac, not to mention that it also has a city view. I'd highly recommend Din's place for a stay in Auckland.
