The apartment is in a heritage building and very central location..also handy for busy to/ fro the airport and coach day trips from the Bus Interchange..Akaroa for example is highly recommended. The flat needs a bit more homely touches and over Easter weekend there was quite a bit of noise outside from various rebels, alarms etc..more than we had in other cities. Not the owners fault but Christchurch city needs to step up it's anti social behaviour patrols etc. Highly recommend Paddy's Irish bar and live music just round the corner.
