John & Janet’s house is absolutely gorgeous, old and well loved, with beautiful lawns and gardens. There’s a shared large but cosy kitchen and a modern clean bathroom. The downstairs room is large and private w/a super cosy warm bed, there’s internet & towels & tea. I had a wonderful time chatting to Janet about life & politics & all sorts of things, really a delightful personality. John is wonderful, too! Curious, sharp, & a world traveler, very easy to end up in a stimulating friendly conversation w/both of them. Janet is a piano teacher, and the house is full of musical instruments and art. I loved the vibe so much, I stayed with them twice! Downtown Mt Eden is a short walk away w/great restaurants & bakeries & it’s a short walk up Mt Eden itself to a spectacular sunset over Auckland. One of my favorite AirBnb adventures, highly recommended!
