Yvonna was a great host. She is a very positive person, always ready for a chat but also considerate, we had a lovely stay at her place. We loved the cats as well.
The place is in a quiet neighborhood on the edges of Christchurch. It's about 20-25 mins bus drive to the city. There is a 15 minute walk to the beach and about 10 minutes walk to a big supermarket.
The room is cozy and has a small desk suitable for work. Absolutely recommended.
