Helen is a most gracious host and the apartment was absolutely perfect in every way. We enjoyed the amazing views of Christchurch Cathedral from the balcony and the beds were super comfy. Such a great location to venture out into the city and enjoy all of the sights and great restaurants. We particularly enjoyed the food and music at Darkey Kelly's Bar & Restaurant and even stumbled upon some authentic Mexican cuisine at Azteca, both are within a 3 minute walk from the apartment. For great Italian there's Pinocchio's nearby as well and for morning pastries and coffee Queen of Tarts is out of this world. Helen is very responsive and the communication was easy every step of the way. We looked at many airbnb's and are so pleased that we chose Helen's place to stay. It was a memorable vacation and we hope to be back sometime soon!
