VEry small rooms, either facing busy street, noisey pubs or a wall. It was fine for crashing out after our flight from the UK but I would not say there was anythign particularly good about it. It is pretty central, so thats handy but it does mean parking is tricky.

We arrived on the last flight into Christchurch & expected some trouble getting checked in as it was almost midnight when we got to the Living Space.
We were met by a cheery woman who had everything all ready for us, which was great as we were very weary from travel, she even directed us to where to grab a bite to eat late at night as we hadnt eaten & provided a map for us.
Our room was great, (I was expecting a shared bathroom) & also a bathroom.
Yes the rooms are small but there is lots of storage so it doesnt look cluttered with bags, etc & there is also a full supply of tea, coffee, hot choc & also milk pods in the fridge.
Right across from our room was also a large kitchen with ovens & pots & pans. We also had access to a tv lounge / reading room on our floor.
We found the location great as SOL square was right behind us, with lots of eating places & live music. Yes we could hear some music from the clubs but I dont reckon it was bad enough to complain about. We really enjoyed out stay & would definitely use again when we coem back to Christchurch.

We were booked in to stay for 3 nights in January 2011 with our 2 children 12 and 11. I had booked this over the net directly with the living space but they failed to say that it was above 5 bars! They only told us when we checked in that it does get noisy. The noise was UNREAL. My daughter was so tired she cried herself to sleep at 2am. We moved our mattress out of the bedroom onto the floor to try and escape it . You could even feel the vibrations from the noise through the bed. The irony of it was that the 4th floor where we stayes was called "tranquility". We checked out early the next morning and wasted 1/2 a day catching up on sleep. I WOULD ABSOLUTELY WHOLE HEARTEDLY NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE except if you plan on being in the bars until 5am!

There is also no place to park - so you have to park down the road in an 8 story car park. Very inconvenient.

Livingspace is in a great location, a short walk to all the shops and bars, Cathedral Square and the Botanic Gardens. Stayed here twice on my trip and we had the same apartment both times. Loads of space, 3 bedrooms, large living room/kitchen and separate toilet and shower room. Only problem for me was the noise from Sol Square which my room overlooked (a lane and square full of bars). It felt like I was trying to sleep in a nightclub at times! This went on till about 4am on the Thursday and Friday night we stayed there. If you can cope with the noise its a great place to stay.
