Feb 13, 2023 Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### A good stay but the difference in coat per person is a but tricky I have been upfront about the extra person staying with us due to Auckland floods. I dont mind paying extra. But I did so without having any new services added to the stay which seemed a lot redundant. I wouldnt recommend this place to any other firends due to this inconvenience. If they are asking for an extra pay per person, atleast they should have a proper bed for the extra person to sleep on. The sofa bed was so uncomfortable and couldn't accomodate two persons as they decribed. ##### Devi G. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine F.
