Tessa’s place was a good base to stay to explore Christchurch. The recommendations were good and it is nearby supermarket. Bathroom was very nice even though it is inside the house. We enjoyed getting limes to ride around. Neighbourhood didn’t feel the safest compared to other places in Christchurch due to an incident with my friend getting attacked by a dog nearby. We didn’t get to meet Tessa and family but they were very responsive to message.
