This was our first airbnb experience, and we were very pleased. Daphne's home was lovely, and the room we rented met our expectations. Daphne was friendly and helpful and never intrusive. We were able to walk to an excellent Thai restaurant that met our vegetarian needs. To top it off, Daphne offered to drive us to the airport for $10. It was perfect for our needs: a short stay before our international flight.

The only issue that could have been a problem for us was Daphe's request to communicate by text rather than email. We did not have phone or text service on our cell in New Zealand, so we had to ask a friend to communicate directly with Daphne for us while in country. Using email at our prior lodgings would have worked better for us.

The price was very fair for the accommodation, and we would definitely recommend Daphne's home for other traveller's flying in and out of Christchurch.
