Location. Clean. Amenities.
No table outside but there were chairs.
Close to where we needed to be, very clean and comfortable
Location and carpark. Easy walk to Arts Centre and gallery, Riverside market. The apartment is spacious and very comfortable.
We couldn’t get the oven going - clock was flashing and we didn’t know how to set it. Used microwave instead so didn’t seek assistance. Bigger saucepan for boiling pasta. The range hood/extractor above the stove didn’t work. Suggestion: full length mirror and hooks on inside bathroom doors to hang things.
Apartment was well laid out, clean and in a great location (being across the road from the Town Hall). It had everything we needed for a 2-night stay.
The parking instructions provided weren't clear - this could be very easily rectified if it was more specific in the welcome message from the property owner/manager.
Great Location, perfect for two couples as it is a 3 story apt which has living on the ground floor and level 1 & 2 each has bedroom and bath for each couples privacy.
Nothing to fault
I like that the rooms are almost soundproof. You get privacy.
Good location. Good facilities. Reasonably priced
Downstairs was carpeted with a small area of hard floor next to the front door... Shoes had to be removed before stepping onto carpet. Awkward when 4 people are trying to leave or arrive at the apartment. A hard floor throughout downstairs would have been far more practical and easy to live with.
Great location - we were able to walk to the city centre easily. We were staying with another couple so the two bathrooms were great and unusual in this type of accommodation.
The bedrooms were hot as there isn’t air conditioning in the rooms. There was a fan in the top floor bedroom which helped.
Good central location with nearby restuarants and entartainment.
Kitchen powerpoints mounted far reaching positions.
We liked the location, access to cbd, space and the rooms, facilities and the value for money
It would be good to provide dish washer and washing machine powder/tablets/liquid as part of the accomodation pack
Proximity to city Quietness
Code did not work to initially get in Stairs narrow and slippery Quite small for a family of 5
Modern and clean great place
Lovely and modern and clean
Had a slight problem finding it.
Easy to find, good parking and easy to get to local places.
Nice and tidy, comfortable bed and easy check in
Nothing
Lovely new clean property. Couldn’t have had a better location for the town hall and casino 😉
Assumed parking would have been attached to property but was down the road.
Eine schicke und hochmoderne Ferienwohnung über drei Etagen. Zwei Schlafzimmer mit Bad auf jeweils eigener Etage. Die Küche ist voll ausgestattet inklusive Waschmaschine mit Trocknerfunktion. Die Lage ist Spitze, kurzer Fußweg in die Innenstadt. Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin lief über DMs in der booking.com App. Parkplatz auf gegenüberliegender Seite der Kreuzung.
Nice, modern clean apartment. Great location
Top Room hot but used fan
ベッドルーム、バス&トイレが二つずつあり、2世帯の家族と泊まるのに最高でした。 食器類やランドリー、設備が充実していてとても快適に過ごすことができました。 立地もよく、主な場所へは徒歩で行けます。
包丁が切れにくかったことぐらいです。
The lay out was good, Very close to everything
I think a coat rack and a shoe rack would be a good idea as you want ppl to take their shoes off gives you a place to put them. Curtains in the bedrooms would be good lots of light coming through the sides of the blinds
The apartment was neat and clean. Facilities were adequate. Location was great and near many eateries.
Parking is a slight distance away.
Excellent location to attend a concert at the Town Hall amphitheater. We walked to the liquor store and dinner spot just 1 block away and concert venue just 2 blocks away. Townhouse was very clean and had all modern fixtures and furnishings. The shower was glorious!
Having some milk in the fridge would have been nice. But we went out for breakfast to our favorite Cafe a few blocks away so not a major. Having a fan in the bedroom would have been good as it was a warm evening but opening the windows sufficed.
Fab location with easy walking access to everywhere. There is a car park but not needed this time. Super clean home, excellent bathrooms and everything one needed in the kitchen including a Dulce Gusto machine and pods. Felt safe in the area. Excellent sound proofing between homes and from outside. Lovely little garden that gets the sun.
Nothing - it was a great place to stay and we will definitely use again when back in Christchurch. Thank you so much.
Handy location Price was excellent Nice interior Plenty of space
The fact that it wasn’t very clear as to the car parking. I assumed the car park was at the accommodation but it was off site. The seating in the lounge wasn’t that great. The couch wasn’t that comfy to relax and watch tv. And if there were more people staying other than the 2 of us there wasn’t anymore comfortable seating.
Extremely clean with lovely big bathrooms and bedrooms and host readily replied to messages promptly.
Would be great to have a high chair in the apartment.
Location was great
The directions to the parking could have been clearer. Some milk would have been appreciated.
Good use of space and comfortable and warm
All good
Very nice house new & clean, location is good city center. Definitely, you come back for next.
The location, the little extras (body wash, paper towels, washing powder). It was lovely and warm. Having a car park was very helpful.
It was all fantastic
Super close to the town hall where we were going. Tidy clean, well appointed.
No complaints other than some instructions to use the TV would have been handy!
great location, short walk to restaurants.
Very clean and neat apartment. Great to be able to do a load of washing and have somewhere to hang it out to dry - definitely cuts down on your packing! Everything you could need in the city is within level walking distance and the electronic door lock means you don’t have to worry about who in your group has the keys or worry about where to find a lockbox. There was good quality shampoo and conditioner and body wash available and basic tea and coffee so enough to get you started if travelling light.
It’s only a small thing but the top bedroom gets pretty warm and it would be nice to be able to crack the window open (though I also do understand why it’s sealed as it could be a safety issue for guests with children.) There was a fan available so that helped!
Great location, clean & tidy
Would be nice to have a box of tissues
Close to central city
The bath towels need upgrade
Excellent, walk to most things, clean and comfortable
Nice, modern apartment
Airbnb type accommodation not a hotel. Owner wasn’t flexible when our travel plans were affected by a land fire closing the highway we were travelling on. We changed our travel itinerary to get there but Apartment hadn’t been cleaned when we arrived at 330pm so we had to go out for a couple of hours - a bit gross & disrupted our evening plans. Major push back on compensation but at least situation was resolved by getting a cleaner there in 30 mins or so.
Perfect for our needs and great to have a bathroom per bedroom.
Parking not directly onsite but only a very short walk away. Three levels, bedroom and bathroom on second floor and master with ensuite on third so a few stairs.
Modern, neat and tidy apartment in the city centre. Parking included in carpark across the road. Great value for money!
Small living area with only one lounge.
Very comfortable, good location. Very grateful to be able to checkin early. Owners were very accommodating. Definitely recommended...
The location was fantastic, with the central city in easy walking distance. Very comfortable and clean property. The small garden area was lovely to sit outside with a cuppa.
The fragrance used in the living area was quite strong and a little over powering. Directions for the carpark took a bit to work out, as we didn't come up the one-way street past the property. Perhaps include the name of the carpark in the instructions for future guests.
Property was great. Very new and modern
Booking.com contact numbers were random people not connected to the property. Not sure why the details on site were different. When got to text proper owner it was a great stay
