It was a pleasure staying at Simon’s Place with Pavla as host. I had booked this house for its proximity to the railway station but it turns out to be located in a now trendy area with great cafes only 300m away....Addington Coffee Co-op, Town Tonic. Also, it’s Christchurch, so if you’re driving, everything is 10mins away. All amenities/linen as well as access to the house (pin pad) were professionally organised for maximum ease of use, with useful instructions set out. They even had The Princess Bride dvd.
