Pros: Clean, new, bright apartment. Nice bathroom, cute little fenced, private patio. We were in Christchurch for our son who was hospitalized, so the location is a tree-lined 15 minute walk. Close walking distance to shopping and restaurants.
Cons: There is constant traffic noise until later at night, so we were not able to take advantage of cross breezes by opening east windows. No coffeemaker (had to buy a french press), very meager kitchen utensils -e.g. one cheap plastic salad bowl, only 4 of each silverware, no baking dishes, tongs, serving spoons. No bbq (though not advertised as such). Bed comfort is mediocre but I slept ok after the first night during our 5 nite stay. East windows look directly onto a busy street. We never opened the shades for lack of privacy-especially upstairs bedroom. Top-down, bottom-up shades would solve this. Small sofa with no where to prop up feet. An ottoman will help.
For the location, we’d stay again - owner will hopefully add some extras.
