Angela is a very friendly and caring host! Right from the start she made us feel super welcome and was a "go to person". The house was perfect for our short Auckland stay with 3 fully separate bed rooms. Since you have the entire upper floor as a guest, you have your full privacy, while Angela and other people renting a house in the backyard are living on the level below. Everything was great, with one small minor exception being the water pressure in the shower. It's a low pressure system and so our mother was not able to wash her hair and the rest of us had a hard time. But Angela as a super host and the house make up for that I am convinced. Location is such that it's a quiet neighborhood circa 15 minutes from downtown, but you definitely need a car and you need to know how to drive cause the driveway is tight and very steep. Thanks for everything Angela.
