Patrick was awesome and his place was great! It's well equipped and he was very responsive and accessible. The apartment is very light and airy with the windows open. The shower has great water pressure and the included secure underground parking was wonderful to have the city. It was also very handy to do laundry before we moved on to our next location. The only tip I would add is that there is no air-conditioning and Auckland was a bit hot while we were there so it can be warm during the day. We found it best to keep the shades drawn during the day while we were out so that it was cooler at night when we returned. With Auckland's typical mild climate this would not be an issue the vast majority of the time. A dip in the pool was also very refreshing!
Patrick was awesome! We stayed for three nights and our friends arrived before we did. They had no trouble reaching Patrick and he responded to every message very quickly throughout our stay. He even met us a few days later so we could pick up something we left behind. His hospitality is typical of the friendly Kiwis and we would all gladly stay at his place again. It's tough to find two bedroom Airbnb places in the city and I definitely recommend this one!
