Space is as pictured and described. Very clean and in great shape inside and out. Bed comfortable with quality linens. As is true in much of Christchurch, you will see neighboring properties in various states of repair from the earthquake damage, this appearance does NOT represent a safety concern as it might in the USA. Sarah and Ed are pleasant and helpful with “right” level of interaction, welcoming, approachable and respectful. Frankie the dog is well behaved and cared for; and I enjoyed petting him as I missed my dog at home. I would stay again, and recommend it to travelers good with the pets described in the posting.
