Mick was a lovely host! Extremely responsive and immediately helped us with any problems we ran into. He also had great suggestions for night life/things to do in the area. The apartment is spacious and the view of Christchurch is absolutely amazing. Everything in city center was within a walkable distance and there's a plethora of great restaurants, pubs and venues around the area. The plumbing is a little odd- we didn't always have hot water and the sinks don't always work, but other that, it's a great place to stay.
