I stayed for four weeks with Manna and her family. She offered to pick me up at the airport although it was almost 10 pm due to the delay of my flight. The house is located near a shopping center and bus stops are within a few minutes' walk. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. The room is clean and cosy with plenty of drawers to put my stuff in.
The whole family is welcoming. Manna did all she could to make my stay comfortable. She also invited me to go to Sumner Beach and Riccarton Farmers' Market with her family, and we had a lot of fun. What impressed me most about her is keeping learning new things all the time. A fantastic example of life-long learner! In all, I really enjoyed my stay there and highly recommend Manna's place to any visitor during their short stay in Christchurch.
