The actual house is really nice and was very clean. The problem was that there is a bar right next door. They play music until 3am on Saturday night. As the house in in a part of town zoned for businesses there is nothing you can do. It was so loud there was no way to sleep. It was not stated that this was the case. We were pretty close to moving to a hotel at 1am. I spoke with the owner and they said they could give me a discounted stay in the future. As I am not planning to come back to Christchurch this is obviously useless.
