As a host, I found Jodie to be super-friendly, approachable & quick to respond to messages.
I found that the apartment itself was ideally located, with only a ten minute walk into the city-centre and with the Queenstown Hill walk further up the hill from the accommodation. Jodie’s apartment was therefore a good base with which to explore Queenstown.
As a space in itself to spend time in, however, I found it a little lacking in personal touches. Additionally, one of the reasons that I booked this apartment was the fact that the space included a log burner. There was no indication that it wasn’t in use. Upon arrival I discovered that it couldn’t be used, which was a little disappointing, future guests should note this.
Previous guests had noted that the tenants above were very noisy and earplugs were provided. My experience however, was that the current tenants in the apartment above appeared to be renovating during the day and were therefore extremely noisy which was actually quite off-putting.
Part of my reasoning to book Jodie’s apartment was as a bit of a respite and recovery from my travels thus-far and so for me it was perhaps not entirely suitable for me, however guests wanting to use it as a springboard would find it perfect.
