I have stayed at Mary and David's first Airbnb unit (4B) several times and have always been very impressed, and I am no less impressed and satisfied with their second unit (4C) which has only been available a short time.
The location is excellent with parks, restaurants, galleries, museums, and shopping all within a 5 minute walk. As an added bonus, you can take a 3 minute walk to the Matai River where you can refresh from the heat of day in one of 3 excellent swimming holes.
This unit is quite spacious, and boasts high ceilings which add significantly to the open floor plan. New window coverings have been added which enhance the fresh, crisp feel of the space. Skylights ensure the place is endowed with lots of light during the day.
One very enjoyable feature is the large private courtyard that receives the sun almost the entire day. In fact I very much enjoyed the privacy, the quietness, and the peacefulness during my stay.
As for the hosts, I have always found them extremely accommodating, uber-friendly, and very knowledgeable about Nelson and all that there is to see and do there.
I give Mary and David the highest points I can for an outstanding experience at their property. Five stars or more if that's possible
You can't go wrong with this place and I am certain you will also have a very pleasant and relaxing visit.
