This is a great base for an extended stay in Christchurch. The apartment is roomy, airy, and bright, and tucked away from the main road, so also quiet and private. It's well equipped in every regard: kitchen, linens, laundry, patio furniture, ... There are easy bus links to the University and to downtown, and downtown is also a reasonable walk. There is a shopping center 5 minutes away with a decent grocery store, and several good restaurants and traiteurs with takeout close-by. (If you like lamb, Pedro's is an easy way to host a big meal with friends.) Anne is friendly and responsive without being intrusive. Overall highly recommended.
