A lovely apartment with a distinctive French style.
It is very conveniently located about 10 or 15 minutes by bus or car from the city centre and on a regular bus route.
Although the apartment is situated quite near to a busy main road, noise was never an issue for us.
The kitchen is fully equipped but there are a number of restaurants locally if you want to eat out.
The dining/sitting area is very comfortable, and there are two televisions including Netflix in the apartment.
Although the weather was generally lovely during our visit, it was Autumn, and the temperatures a little lower at night. We were never cold, there being efficient electric heaters and a heat pump heater in the bedroom.
The apartment is part of a larger single storey unit the rest of which Heather uses for music lessons.
As Heather is a very considerate person she did not use her music room for lessons whilst we were in residence, using an alternative within her house which is next door to the apartment.
There is access to a washing machine, by agreement with Heather, and a clothes drying area, and although we didn't need it as we were there in Autumn I imagine that it would have been possible to sit outside.
The bedroom is smallish and has a standard double bed which we found to be very comfortable. The adjacent bathroom is also quite small. There is no bath but a very efficient shower.
We stayed in the apartment for over two weeks, whilst visiting our son and his family who live just round the corner, and this apartment could not have been a better base for our holiday.
Heather and Rob are perfect hosts, being friendly and available if needed, but in no way intrusive.
If our son and his family continue to live in Christchurch I hope that we will return to this apartment.
