Michael's place is convenient if your flight is arriving late night in Auckland, as you can pretty much check in yourself with the indications provided. The pictures are an accurate representation of the common spaces and amenities, but we didn't understand that there were 3 other guests being hosted in two other separate rooms aside from ours.
The amount of guests can be tricky for only one small bathroom and shower in the morning, and for breakfast in the kitchen, which has a small table.
Aside from that, we feel OK with how the place is advertised, and liked Michael's hospitality, and communicating with him worked just fine, as he himself lives in the house.
