Our stay was unfortunately not good.
The bed was very uncomfortable. Cheap and thin mattress. Even worse than in any cheap hostel/accommodation I've ever stayed in.
When we wanted to use the kitchen, she told us we weren't allowed to use it until in a few hours. She said we have to share the kitchen, that's why we can't use it.
She went away and no one used it in the meantime. We had to wait until she came back 2 hours later.
On top of it, we weren't allowed to use the kitchen after 9pm because her grown up son has to go to work at 5:30am the next morning, she said.
Turns out he got up at the very same time like me . 8:00am.
So, why weren't we allowed to use the kitchen after 9pm again?
The listing states private bathroom. Turns out her grown up son used it during our stay..
The garbage in the bathroom was full from the previous guests. So, not sure, if she has cleaned the bathroom at all, after the most recent guests have checked out?
The house is very new but there is almost no furniture in it. And if there is furniture, it's old and used up.
I really can't recommend this place to anyone. It's not good value for the money. I've stayed a lot more comfortable, cleaner and with more welcoming hosts in Christchurch before.
