Take it from me to say that Deb and Phil's place is absolutely wonderful as I had the opportunity to stay there for 5 weeks. Great location as it is walking distance to the concourse, beach and bus stops, comfy bed (with electric blankets so you can keep warm) , clean space, and only a 10 min drive to Southland! But the best thing of all is how friendly Deb and Phil are. Would definitely stay again if the opportunity arises :)
