I thoroughly enjoyed staying at Kathryn's place. It's super cozy and located in a very quiet neighborhood. It's always been warm inside during the coldest time of NZ, with timer heater, electronic blanket and a real(!) fireplace. Cooking and eating in her kitchen reminded me of how I liked spending time in the kitchen when I lived in England. Kathryn has been the best host I have ever met who gave me a lift everyday. Meanwhile, there is a bus passing by the mainroad around every 15 mins that goes to the city centre. And it only takes 7 mins. I am grateful that she shared with me her stories and thinkings when I seeked to know people's experiences that I could refer to for decision-making. Definitely recommend it to everyone.
