Great location, home set up really well, had everything we could need. Comfy.
1 of the bulbs in the bedside light wasn't working
Very homely…had everything I needed
The neighbourhood is a bit rough…seemed like a few homes that were not well maintained
Clean comfortable and convenient
Not enough linen per paying guests and took all weekend to get extra towels also there was no parking not even on the street
Very clean and quality of kitchen and bathroom facilities were excellent.
Great property - beautifully furnished, warm and comfortable
The place was lovely and modern—warm, clean, and very comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay.
The location was excellent! We loved being so close to the town centre and having the e-scooters also was a great bonus and really handy to know that they were there if we wanted to use them, wish the weather was better so we could! The house was very clean and the note on arrival was super friendly and welcoming and the book was very handy to read. Beds were also so comfortable!
We loved staying here everything about the property was excellent, only wish that there was parking onsite available.
Had everything one could need. Comfy beds, good showers & clean toilets.
The washer/dryer destroyed my hat 🥲
Easy access to the CBD.
Pretty eclectic neighborhood.
Everything
Fantastic place to stay
We loved our stay. Had everything you could possibly need. Was warm and inviting will definitely be booking to stay again in the near future
Great location close to the CBD.
The weather was terrible so we could not use the e-scooters.
This is a well nee, tidy and well located property. Warm home with excellent value for money.
Area was quiet , no noise around . Only 5 mins drive to nearest shopping centre.
Bath towels were dirty looked someone used it before and not cleaned properly. Bedside tables are very small and sloppy with no drawers . Aircon upstairs facing bathroom so rooms gets longer time to get heated up. No dish washing sponge to clean utensils . The airer stand was broken . Limited kitchen towels , we have buy our own . Limited toilet rolls and very poor quality . Cooking pans were in poor condition. We have to buy cooking oil as remain oils were old and looked very greasy . Never managed to park the car in front or close to the property as not much road side parking in the late afternoon or evening ( after returning from a day trip ) . We have to leave the car either on the next street or at the end of the street ; which is extremely inconvenient.
A lovely property. Walking distance into the city.
There wasn’t anything we didn’t like.
Everything! The layout of this place was perfect.
Nothing, was absolutely perfect.
Comfy beds, ample dishes etc and assorted bits like tea, coffee oil etc. Clothes line.
A bit small and no iron, just a steamer.
I really liked the house and how friendly and accomodating the hosts were. IF I had not been running so late from over sleeping (bed was way to comfy) I would have left a note saying thanks :)
The location was a little rough - however that is not on the hosts, they made it very clear where the property was and it was my problem for not researching the area before booking. In saying that I would book their again - I just wouldn't go to the local dairy.
Property is very close to the city centre and it's new so it's pleasant to stay in. With electric scooters you can get to the city in about 5 minutes otherwise it's a quick 15 - 20 min walk.
While the property is "brand new" we were disappointed by the location, which is situated in a low socio-economic area with nearby properties of concern (we renamed it the dodge-lodge). There is no private parking so the location doesn't give you peace of mind if parking your rental car on the side of the road . As for the "free scooters", there is only 2 for a four person accommodation (so no use for us) and again disappointing as it would have made a world of difference for our time in Christchurch
A microwave would have been very much appreciated.
The place is beautiful and facilities are exceptional.
just there is no aircon in the room and soundproof is not as good.
it was very cozy.
It had stairs. My wife is disabled and the listing didn't show that it had stairs. In fairness I also should have asked. Location was not great. Hard to find parking.
Location is excellent and the unit was exceptionally clean and comfortable. Everything we needed for our few days in ChCh and so good being able to find somewhere that we could take our wee dog!
Street parking is difficult which is not a reflection of the unit but just the fact that this infill housing is creating parking issues
Clean, tidy. Had everything I needed - prefer it to a hotel - home feel to it and the electric scooters were a money saving bonus…conference was in city and scooters saved me a taxi fare every day!
Lovely home, warm, comfortable and well-equipped with awesome extras like the nespresso. Great central location.
Nothing to add here.
Everyting
Just could not get parking but got some in street above
The apartment was beautiful ! It was in a quiet neighborhood. The staff was really nice and helpful !
Nothing
Clean, comfortable, beautiful place. Everything you need is there.
It’s hard to find parking.
The property exceeded our expectations - excellent value for money and so well equipped! Bedrooms with the own bathrooms was really nice and the neat, tidy kitchen was easy to use. We loved the great touches like the speaker and scooters :) Very quiet and secure, and easy to get everywhere. Shannon was so wonderful to deal with, super communicative and helpful!
