Mary & Joe were very welcoming and they greeted us personally when we got to their place. It's understandable that locating the exact entrance to their house is tricky, so follow the instructions that were included after your listing has been approved. The room was clean and bed was comfortable. The sun-room was a nice touch especially if you would like to hangout or have your meals there. Toilet and bathroom were clean with excellent water pressure and heating. Everything was provided from the toiletries to breakfast amenities. Location was very close to the city center and it's also located near to Cornwall park with the One Tree Hill monument.
The things you need to look out for when booking this listing is to not park/knock at the wrong house during check-in & also the walls are pretty thin separating both rooms that are listed for this property - so keep your voices down at night!
Otherwise, it was a good place to stay whether you're looking to pass through Auckland or if you're planning to stay for long. Highly recommended.
