This was our first time to NZ and our first experience with Airbnb. We spent five nights at Rose's Cottage and we can't say enough good things about it. It was very clean, well equipped, very comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet but an easy walk to the center of Christchurch with some local restaurants in the neighborhood. Rose was very helpful and immediately responsive to the few questions we had. We will recommend Rose's Cottage to our friends and family as well as Airbnb because of our terrific first experience.
