The property is small but that’s ok - the photos in the listing tell you that. It’s also in a great location, super handy for the University. And best of all it’s really clean. The kitchen is well appointed - yay, actual knives that work. The little outside area is cute and everything inside and out was easy to use.

Chang's place was excellent for our stay. 2 very comfortable bedrooms and large bathrooms. The living area was great with modern new appliances and everything we needed. A nice outdoor space when the weather is good.Close to everything we needed and Chang was amazing on communication - very quick and helpful responses.Highly recommended and we'll be back.

We enjoyed our stay. The home was warm, clean and comfortable. We really appreciated how close it was to the green grocers. The host went the extra mile with fruit and bottled water. We felt the only things missing were tea bags and salt and pepper.

We needed a place in a rush for family emergency, Steph was fantastic, very helpful. I wish I could have stayed longer but had to come home for work.
Would recommend the property to anyone who needs a play in CHCH.

A thoughtfully renovated and meticulously maintained home away from home. In a great spot not far from town and airport. Steph is a super host who communicates well and provides attentive care. Highly recommended.
