I have been lucky enough to meet some spkendid people and stay in some lovely homes through Air BnB, though Shona is simply the best.
Before I arrived, the correspondence and instructions were polite and timely, and I was greeted on arrival. Shona has a lovely home, which is very accessible from the airport or Cristchurch city centre, and the room is perfectly presented, with a comfortable double bed and adjacent bathroom with shower. The wi-fi signal was easily accessed and reliable, though Shona asks guests no to take liberties with data downloads. I was welcomed with a drink in the evening sunshine, and the breakfast was excellent.
Shona herself is a very thoughtful lady, who is well travelled and well read, making for excellent conversation should guests wish for that.
Highly, highly recommended.
