We stayed at Claire's place for 3 nights while visiting and exploring Christchurch. It's close to town and has almost everything you need within walking distance. The loft was cute, clean and compact but had pretty much all the basics. One thing to note is if you're bringing your car, there is only off street parking and it can be a bit tricky to get a park as there are schools near by. Thanks for having us and I'm sure we'll see you again :)
