Susanne's place was sooo comfortable, sparkling clean, elegant, convenient! We loved it and would stay there again in a heartbeat! The house has a large and well lit living room with a super comfortable sofa and TV; a fully equipped , modern kitchen (even with an espresso maker); very comfortable bedroom upstairs, sparkling clean bathroom and also a lovely backyard. There is also a washing machine and dryer. We loved the elegant furnishing and comfortable carpeting throughout the house. It was so nice returning to the place in the evening and we were thinking we would not mind living in this beautiful house. The location is very quiet, nice, close to the river Avon, and only a 10-minute walk to downtown. We cannot recommend Susanne's house more strongly. When in Christchurch don't miss the spectacular botanical gardens and the lively Riverside Market, and we also recommend going for a hike on Godley head (on Banks peninsula).
