Christine and Steve were excellent hosts and gave a generous and sincere welcome to New Zealand. They were friendly yet respectful. We enjoyed having an opportunity to visit with them. Location was good as we could access downtown easily as well as walk to the port hills. Room was cozy. Christine went out of her way to be helpful to us, with suggestions for our trip around the south island as well as in Christchurch. This was our first airbnb stay and we are now hooked!
