We absolutely loved Daniel's place. It was warm and comfortable, light and sunny, with a charming little courtyard garden out the back. Despite being in the centre of the city it was also very quiet and private. We really appreciated the thoughtfulness that had gone into providing every last little thing we could possible want or need (apart, perhaps, from a coffee plunger). It was also superbly situated and within walking distance of all the places we wanted to go. (The car park was a bonus, but we rarely needed to use the car for the five days we were there.) I could go on, but I don't want to sound too enthusiastic in case it is going to be too booked up for us to stay next time we come to Christchurch!
