Anne's studio was the holy grail of places to stay in Auckland - peaceful and homey and also walkable to great places to eat and drink and peruse. Anne was so warm and welcoming, and incredibly accommodating, especially since my flight got in so early. The studio had everything I would need, and more. On top of all that, Anne gives you great recommendations in the black folder that provides a spew of information. One of the best meals I had in Auckland came from one of her recommendations. Long story short, if you get the chance, stay here.
