Had a nice stay at Linda's place. Apartment is in an excellent location for touring the central area of Christchurch. Sunny, bright space with full cooking facilities and a large refrigerator. There is lots of information about the area and also about other places to visit in NZ. There are a number of grocery options, restaurants and stores within walking distance. Also on 2 bus lines. Very near to the Avis car rental drop-off which worked well for us. Communication with Linda was excellent. Linda does not live in the apartment but made a special trip to meet us after work. Very much enjoyed chatting with her.
