Johnston was a great host, very welcoming and great source for information about the area and New Zealand in general. Room was very nice and clean. The kitchen was well equipped (there is also has a good selection of teas) and living room was also nice and cozy. The apartment is located right next to the train station, which is just a few stops away from the city center, this makes traveling there much easier than using the rather confusing bus system. This was only my second experience with airbnb, but certainly the best.
