How's this:
We stayed with David and Cathi for the weekend and had a lovely time. They are kind, considerate, and helpful with any information you might need about Christchurch. The house is gorgeous, comfortable and modern - and in a perfect location to get to the city. (Especially convenient were the parking right in front of their home, and the grocery store around the corner.) Thanks for making our first trip to Christchurch a great one.
