The studio was extremely clean, fashionably arranged, and very comfortable. The beautiful yard has a large tennis court and we found rackets and balls in the studio closet for a quick game! The location was excellent - a quiet residential neighborhood just a very short drive to the airport but still fairly close to downtown Christchurch. It felt more like a private retreat than a guest accommodation! Sarah contacted us prior to our arrival to make sure we had the gate code and to make sure the room was ready for our arrival. An excellent stay which I highly recommend!
