The couch caught my attention and it turned out to be made of excellent soft leather and maintained in great condition. I'm impressed and the layout was great. Bed is firm which is so important for a restful night. The best bed that I have slept on in my 2 weeks in South Island. Location is great with lots of eateries and beautiful gardens around the apartment. Do take note that host indicated a 5 to 10 mins shower per person (there are 2 of us) for the capacity of heated water that the apartment can provide in the unit. Would not be too stressful if you are renting it just for 1 person. Check in is not difficult if you follow Zeenie and Sarah's instruction closely. It's almost a breeze.
