We stayed for only one night in Cynthia's apartment and it was the best airbnb experience we had so far. The apartment is brand new and everything is very clean. Once you open the door you feel like home. You can see and feel that the apartment is furnished with love. Cynthia was responsive at all times and was communicating pro actively. We were welcomed warmly when we arrived and there were even cookies and nuts waiting for us in the room. She and her husband also recommended places nearby for dinner. Overall, we highly recommend staying at Cynthia's place if you get the chance to. We will definitely go there again if we get to Christchurch.
