James left the key where we could find it as he had arranged, but was at the apartment block and showed us where everything was, which we appreciated. James did his best to make our stay pleasant. The apartment was clean and comfortable, with an especially comfy bed. The kitchen was basic but had all we needed to cook our own meals and was definitely value for money. Unfortunately we live on a farm so I am not used to noise at night and I found the traffic was noisy. However my husband slept very well, so it depends if you are a light sleeper! The location was perfect as it was near several good eating places and just over the road from Hagley Park where we could go for a walk when we wanted.
