Jean and Charlie were super welcoming and most accommodating, assisting me in several unexpected ways. The bedroom is bright and airy, and as advertised. Tea and Coffee facilities, and Breakfast is available in the kitchen downstairs, none of this is in your room, though you do have the use of a fridge upstairs. At times at night it was a little noisy with passing Police sirens, and traffic on a nearby main road but it does depend on how deeply you sleep as to whether this would bother you or not. I did have an initial issue with internet access but this was quickly solved in the morning and shouldn't bother future guests as it was a password communication error; interestingly enough though you are also in reach of a free Christchurch Internet connection so this was my fallback on my first night. The house location is superb - it took just 20 minutes to walk to the Botanical Gardens, just 30 minutes to a main tourist information office where you could buy tour/attraction combination tickets (I got the trio: Tram use around the city, a Botanical Garden Tour and a Gondola Run Trip for 65 NZ$ - note you need transport to the Gondola or else it will cost you another 10$ for a shuttle - not sure if thats one way or rtn). If ever in Christchurch again I'd happily stay with Jean and Charlie.
