My dad and I were so tired after taking long flights, but they gave us early check-in that we were both soo grateful. The room is like home itself(but a more cleaner and artistic one) and the bath water pressure was soo comforting. Highly recommended to anyone who vivid Christchurch. 非常可爱又舒适的体验!房东很好,推荐~
