She is a gentle and a good person to stay with. She is welcoming and kind.

Mon passage chez Esther m'a permis de me reposer à Auckland, juste après mon arrivée.
La chambre d'Angle est relativement minimaliste mais convient parfaitement pour un court séjour.
Les parties communes sont propres tout comme la chambre.Un peu à l'extérieur d'Auckland, comptez 1h minimum pour rejoindre les principaux sites d'intérêts en bus. Mais pas d'inquiétude, plusieurs arrêts sont présents à moins de 10min de marche de la maison. Ça se fait très bien.
Concernant Esther, c'est est une hôte extrêmement gentille, toujours disponible pour échanger au besoin.
