The location is amazing, especially if you are going to anything at the One New Zealand stadium, or even just to explore the City Centre area. Many cafés, shops, bars, and restaurants in walk-able distance, including a Pack n Save about 3 blocks away for stocking up!! The space itself is very nicely put together. Comfortable living room chairs, and our bed was firm and comfy with plenty of blankets and pillows to go around for a party of 6. Communication with the host team was great, in that they responded very quickly to messages. The only downpoint was getting varying answers because there's two or three individuals covering their inbox. What didn't make this stay five stars for me: You have to go to a locker area to pick up and drop off the fobs. It's about a 5 minute walk/2 minute drive, which is all fine, but if you have 3 or more bags and are relying on uber, then it can be a pain.We had some issues during our stay, and although they were responsive and willing to get help for the more major issue, I was just annoyed with the issues as a whole because a cleaning team would have noticed those things beforehand.The washer/dryer combo was The. Absolute. Worst. Instructions provided by host are about 3 sentences, but using the machine is much more detailed. Drying 5 pieces of clothing should not take 2 hours, only to end up with still damp items!Stairs can be a pain if you have lots of luggage. Not only to get in to the apartment, but even inside the unit.

Spotless, modern, fully equipped apartment. Spatious. Excellent beds and sanitary provisions. Located at walking distance of the center of Christchurch. Plenty of good restaurants nearby. Private parking.
