Cynthia's apartment is very true to description, my husband and I are very glad that we chose to stay here for our first day in New Zealand. The apartment is close to the airport, easy to locate, and within walking distance to the Avon river, many restaurants/food stands. The apartment is clean and very new, also it comes with everything you may need, from basic toiletries to snack and drinks. We had a great sleep despite the jet lag. One thing to be noted was that the host lives next door, we were a little bit worried that the noise we made from unpacking and leaving early in the morning would disturb them. Otherwise, we sincerely recommend this place!
