I cannot recommend Rob and Karen's place enough. We were lucky to have been able to stay in their beautiful home and to have met them.
Staying with Rob and Karen felt like staying with family. We spent some time with them chatting in their living room while enjoying a glass of wine. Karen showed us interesting books about the earthquakes to give us some background on the recent history of Christchurch and shared with us many good recommendations for our time in the city. It was lovely spending time with them.
Having said that, if you were busier or wanted your privacy, they would not get in your way at all.
The room is spacious, comfortable, perfectly clean and nicely decorated. The bathroom is modern and spacious too. We had everything that we needed and more: towels, extra blankets, pillows, water on the dresser, shampoo in the shower, coffee and tea, etc. Rob even offered to take us to the airport at 4:30 am for half of the cost of a taxi.
We are very pleased with our experience staying here and would highly recommend this Airbnb.
