This is airBNB at its best! Ali's apartment was modern, stylish, impeccably clean, with every conceivable convenience. The bedroom is large and has a super-comfortable bed with nice linens, etc., and a table to use to work on your computer, or if wanted, to eat at. The lounge area was comfortable, and the kitchen contained everything we needed, including good wine glasses (a necessity!). There is a washing machine in the bathroom, and the fittings are high quality and everything works as it should. We loved our stay here and would recommend it to anybody. Ali was very quick to respond to my booking request and to provide all necessary information. The only thing one needs to be aware of is the steepness of the drive - the parking is at the base and you walk up it. But we are in our 60s and 70s and we did manage it. We would definitely recommend Ali's place and if it was available for our return to Christchurch we would have booked it again without any hesitation.
