Jo's place was just as she described it. We liked the vintage furnature and linens, loved the garden, and the bed was very comfortable. It was very quiet and peaceful there, even though you could walk to a variety of good restaurants, a grocery store, and many other stores. Jo is a friendly, interesting person who made us feel comfortable and was very helpful with ideas about things to see and do in Christchurch and other parts of New Zealand. We would stay there again.
