Gemma was a wonderful host who helped to troubleshooting a few issues whilst we were in Christchurch. The apartment is accurately described but is a little quirky with regards to the entry of the rooms and the lack of a sink in the living area. Once we got used to that we enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies, as was the bathroom. Everything was very clean. It was a relatively short 10 minute walk into the centre of Christchurch.
Two things I feel I should mention. 1. The hot water pressure is not very good, so don’t expect a pounding shower in the morning. 2. The apartment is quite close to some nightclubs. We stayed there on a Friday night and the loud noise coming from one of the nearby nightclubs continued until 3am. Being a light sleeper, I struggled to sleep even with ear plugs in, but my wife slept straight through it.
Overall, I think Gemma’s apartment represents pretty good value for money.
