My husband and I spent our last 2 nights in New Zealand before heading back to Australia at Ailsa's lovely home. Truly a gem and value for money! The location of the airbnb is around 10 minutes away from city centre and it was really convenient for us to get about Christchurch in a rental car. If you aren't feeling up for a drive to the city, they have a cafe just down the road as well as a tiny shop that sells fish and chips which is really just a 5 minute walk away. Ailsa does offer private parking as well as off the street parking which is free. We chose to park our car by the street as the driveway is a pretty steep slope and the neighbourhood is quite safe. Having said that, you do have to walk up the short but steep driveway to the entrance of the airbnb. I love that we had our own private entrance and were given plenty amount of privacy during our stay. The interior of the airbnb was very stylishly designed, complete with a bedroom with two single beds, a cosy living room to lounge and watch movies on their huge flat screen tv, a small but rather complete pantry and an adequately sized private bathroom you can enjoy a warm shower in. The only complains we had was the shower pressure is slightly on the low side and the beds sinks in the middle but everything else was great. Ailsa was very quick to reply and offer assistance during our stay. We didn't get a chance to meet her in person but check in instructions were very clear. Very fuss free indeed. Thank you Ailsa for a wonderful stay!
