Karen's is an absolutely wonderful house with all the amenities. It is right in the middle of the city center with wonderful dining places and amazing Graffitis barely 5-10 minutes on foot. What really touched me and Parth was Karen's amazing hospitality and warmth. She offered us her delicious homemade orange cake which was beyond this world! If you are travelling to Christchurch, you must definitely seek out to stay at her place if it's available! Would love to meet her again :)
