Simon and Pavla demonstrated how a great host should be. They allowed us to park our motorhome at their place even a day prior actual booking day since we couldn't find a good spot to stay overnight. In the morning, they also allowed us to put our bags and luggage prior check-in time so we could return our van easily. Their home is very clean and comfy, with so many beds and comfortable couches. They stock books and bunch of movies on living rooms. Kitchen also very good, full with complete cutlery, spices and basic tools. Location-wise, the place is indeed very near to restaurant/fast-foods, coffee shops and bars (1-3 mins walk) and It's only 2km-ish—25 mins walk from Christchurch hospital. When checking out, Pavla was kind enough to take us by her car to Container Mall. We had a great stay at their house, and would pick them as host again if we come back to Christchurch.
