Richard was a very nice host! Replied quickly all the time. Upon arrival we were able to check in a bit earlier. The apartment is located in a residential area, but close enough to the Christchurch city center(like 10 min driving-not sure about public transport-).
Everything you need to cook is there and bed was very comfy.
The only thing is we didn’t have small face/hands towels, but I didn’t ask Richard about it, I’m sure if I’d ask him he would provide. I recommend his apartment!
