    Lovely Home and perfect spot with limited kitchen
    the house is a period weatherboard home on a sloping block with 3 split levels - level 1 is the top level accessed via the street frontage. Other people stay on the below levels so there is some noise filtering up below, though wasn't too bad. The house is lovely with high ceilings, really large bedrooms and bathroom and nice cosy lounge room with big TV - all rooms have split system A/C. Location is perfect, a short walk to Ponsonby rd which is trendy with restaurants, cafes and clothing shops. And walkable to the city centre (30 mins) and you clearly see the sky tower from the bedroom window. It is quite hilly around the area, but that is NZ all over. Parking was easy enough out the front, but make sure you get a pass from the host though they are very responsive
    It was sold with a kitchen, but in reality it is not overly useable. A small bench with sink is crammed into a corner near the stair banister with no stove top or oven. They provide a portable electric hot plate and electric fry pan but with little bench space to prepare it is not overly practical. the kitchen table only sits 4 and is in an awkward spot that is hard to gain access to all chairs. As a family of 5 we wanted to self cater, but in the end we had to do more of ready made meals or takeaway. If meal prep is not high on your agenda this is not a deal breaker. also there weren't enough bowls for each person, which was disappointing.

    All round the property was nice & worked for the 6 guests, yet the problems raised above ruined it.
    The location was great for access to Auckland CBD and the day/night life. Complimentary parking was good, though had to wait one time for someone to leave before could access the space.
    THREE major things. 1) The washing machine door would not open after being used for several people's clothes. We spent ages on the phone and eventually (using the "help-line" advice) used some string to unlock the door. It then became obvious that this was a LONG-TERM PROBLEM (which after wasting a whole evening on it) should have been mended months ago. 2) When we left and did a sweep, behind the sofa was filthy, with old food wrappers and even a half-eaten chapati there! 3) Biggest gripe. I started the process of booking this with Booking.com at one price, but by the time I had filled in all the EXTENSIVE information required (even needing to do a Video for ID!) the price had risen by about 30 dollars or so from what it was at the start. I checked with Air B&B and it was still the original price. Booking.com would not honor the so called "Price Guarantee" which became ANOTHER total waste of time and effort trying to claim. I have used Booking.com for over 10 years with no prior complaints, yet this booking left a very bitter taste in mine and all the guests' mouths. We ALL strongly feel Booking.com should offer some compensation or credit for the above occurrences. Thanks

    We found the location easy to access Ponsonby Road and other activities if we needed to go by car.
    The villa was light, comfortable and clean
    The instructions for getting into the property were not accurate and the communication for accessing was difficult. A written compendium would be helpful for things like the wifi access, where things were in the kitchen as access to stove elements etc were in a cupboard that was very high above the sink. Only 3 wineglasses when there was 4 of us staying and non-of the glasses matched. No Kitchen paper towels. Large amount of saucepans but difficult to access portable elements. Dining area very cramped for 4 people, not suitable for a 3 bedroomed house. White bath towels were quite stained. Not very clear on how to use vehicle parking as we had 2 vehicles, although there was ample on-street parking spaces.

    Close to the city and comfortable beds
    The location was excellent. So close yo the city. Slept group of 6 comfortably.
    Really no balcony to sit and enjoy the view. Can’t feed all 6 at one table - table only for 4 people. Not really a kitchen to cook from. One bathroom.

    Great location, poor comms
    Location was excellent. Well appointed and clean
    We had on going issues with access to the property. Many emails and phone calls then we would receive an automated email asking for all the same information again. The same issue with trying to confirm a parking permit. Frustrating to deal with people located remotely and who have no connection to the property, when things aren’t working out.
