Absolutely loved my stay here. I would come back in a heartbeat. The location is unbeatable: New World Grocery is literally next door, and you can stroll to the city center, Hagley Park, and the botanical gardens without breaking a sweat. It felt like a true home away from home, super clean, cozy, and everything just works. Sparkling surfaces, comfy vibes, and smooth communication with the host made the whole experience top-tier. If I could give it 10 stars, I would.

Great Place
This place is well located, near the centre of town, however parking can at times be an issue, when the street is full. The host was very friendly and helpful in all communications. The place itself is very clean, has a lovely shower and comfortable bed. All of the amenities are modern and well-maintained. There is no noise from the units next door.

Great Break
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the apartment, and the fact we were able to bring our cat with us made it even better. The apartment had everything we could need and more. It was super warm and comfortable and very quiet and a great central location.Thank you.

Horrendous booking system
The property is awesome. Our only problems were the booking system and trying to communicate on a cell phone for email information to get into the property, which was given for the wrong property to begin with. This was most upsetting after a long drive, however when we got in & settled we really enjoyed our stay albeit a short one.
