Helen's place was a great home from home. We stayed here for a few nights while we are in between houses & couldn't have felt more welcome. There were lots of lovely touches that make the place really personal.
Helen was very accommodating & quick to reply to communication. Her instructions re some of the quirks of the house were clear.
We stayed at her place with our 3yo who loved the garden & the kids' bedroom was amazingly decked out. We brought activities/ toys from home for her but really didn't need to. Kitchen was very well stocked & the furniture was really comfy with very comfortable beds.
The location of the house was great. It's super close to a couple of main routes but you wouldn't know it & is tucked away on a quiet, safe feeling street. Not far from local amenities, shops, cafes etc.
Would definitely stay again if we needed a place in Chch.
