Great location in central Christchurch! We were walking distance to everywhere we wanted to go e.g. from New Regent Street to Hagley Park to Riverside Market to Snap Fitness and, even closer than the bus exchange, was the Manchester super stop. We used the grocery store in the central city (app. 500 meters) and supplemented with another grocery store that we got to by bus. We felt very safe in this apartment and neighborhood during our six week stay.
