This was my first experience using BookABatch, and found it to be disappointing. The house is in an area of high density housing, and attached on two sides. The neighbours are incredibly loud and can be heard through the walls, and leave loudly for work at 4:30 AM every day. The rooms are small, and the space is not suitable for a large group. The toilet is attached to the kitchen, there were spider webs, dust and nail clippings beside the bed. The fact there’s a cleaning fee is pretty embarrassing. The shower leaks through the roof into the light fittings in the lounge; the host was alerted but it was not addressed for the following three days before we left. The dishwasher doesn’t work, the coffee plunger has mould on the mesh, the air conditioning remote batteries were dead, there’s no heaters upstairs in the bedrooms (there’s one in the king room but it doesn’t output heat), and a single cooling fan was only supplied upon request. There’s also a dearth of electrical outlets (none in the bathrooms, and none near the work desks in the bedrooms). One of our team left to stay in a hotel midway through our stay due to the noise from the neighbours and the terrible bed in the queen room. The blinds are broken and don’t stay up, the bins were full on our arrival, and the shower door appears to have not been cleaned for months. Not a particularly nice area of Christchurch (crime-rate wise) and the security gate was broken. Very small garage not large enough for our vehicles so had to park on road. Overall, in need of a proper clean and not suitable for large groups if wanting any personal space.
