Ok. My longer review. I stayed with Stefano and Paola for 2 nights separated since my journey started and ended in Christchurch. The location is SUPER close to the airport (about a 5-10 minute drive), but you can’t hear or see planes. There are places to eat within walking distance. The neighborhood was lovely. The room was so nicely put together. Simple, but for an AirBnB room felt like a hotel almost. To top it off: Stefano and Paola are wonderful people with wonderful local suggestions and are friendly and responsive. If you’re going to or passing through Christchurch and want to stay with friendly folks in a private space that is put together beautifully at their beautiful home (with a private entrance I might add), then you would be VERY wise to stay here. For the price and the setup, it’s an absolutely gem.
