This place is wonderful! As a professor teaching a study abroad class for Florida students, it was located near University of Canterbury, CBD, and Hagley Park. Deb responded very quickly to questions and concerns. In particular, they upgraded the wifi by installing fiber. Wifi is excellent now and very good for communication (FaceTime no problem). Further, beds were comfortable and plenty of room. There was even a used bbq out back. Highly recommend this place for short or long term stay!
