Location is perfect for night life down Victoria Street and food joints all around within walking distance. Wifi is free and is mostly great but has down moments before it picks up again. Sunny, private balcony though cozy fit. Laundry & dryer shared by building occupants downstairs and ironing facilities available in the room. There is a safe with key if you need safe storage. Kitchen is equipped for a small meal or breakfast cooking. Bar fridge, no freezer if you're staying long and thinking about bulk shopping. Taxi to airport is around $48-52 depending on cab provider and route taken, maybe 15 minutes drive at most. Studio is upstairs, no lift, for those lugging heavy things or those with difficulty managing stairs. Shower of excellent water pressure, ample space but need to keep shower/toilet windows open fulltime for ventilation and to let out steam from shower. Carpark is out back and safe, I'm not sure who authorizes parking so I just let James know which car belongs to me so it's not towed off by mistake. James is a lovely host who will make every effort to meet you in person at some point if possible and resolve issues quickly as you raise them. I enjoyed my 45 day stay. I recommend this place to the solo traveller or couple seeking to maximise time at the Hagley Park or midtown Christchurch. Remember to keep the windows open. Best wishes and safe travels to all and to James, thank you for being an exceptional host. Jocy.
