This is a really good value for money option in a walkable zone to the inner city, As some previous reviews mention the home is really cute and quirky but is noticeably run down - if that’s an issue for you then pay a bit more and go somewhere else. Happily the areas that matter are clean but a few replacements such as a new shower curtain or outdoor setting wouldn’t go amiss. On Friday and Saturday nights there can be a lot of ‘boy racers ‘ in the area and it can get a bit noisy if you are sensitive to traffic noise. The home is really secure and private and we felt safe there. James is really responsive and if you had any problems I’m sure he would be very helpful. I had a bit of trouble using one of the appliances and he was quick to send further helpful tips. Overall, great value for money and a cute heritage cottage in the middle of Chch city. I left a Kaka feather that I found and couldn’t take back with me. I’m sure it has probably found a spot like its always been there!
