We didn't get to meet Linda in person but all communication was smooth and amicable and all our arrangements worked out fine. The apartment is well equipped (we didn't cook but the kitchenette has all you may need to make a nice meal), quiet and in a great location. Away from the hustle and bustle but a mere 15 min walk from/to the bus terminal and CHCH centre. Some good restaurants near by, too, we loved the Himalayas Indian one.
