Brian's apartment definitely had a great view of the lake and the mountains "The Remarkables" as advertised. It is located about a 10-15 minute walk from the small downtown of Queenstown. The walk from town includes a steep incline to reach the apartment, but that contributes to the great view.

Brian provided very good instructions prior to our arrival via email. It detailed how to get the key to the apartment and other details. A cab from the airport was about $50 and the return trip was about $42. There is a bus, but that wouldn't work as you need to stop somewhere to pick up and drop off the key.

The apartment was comfortable and clean, but was a bit spartan as far as furniture and decor. The bed was very comfortable. It also has a clothes washer and dryer, which was very helpful. You do need to provide your own detergent, as well as shampoo and conditioner for showers. The walls could use some fresh paint in places.

As Brian noted in his ad, internet is not provided, but it was available to purchase online. Brian is not resident, but everything went smoothly.

A grocery store is available in town if you want to buy food for breakfast or other meals in the apartment.

If you want a reasonably priced place to stay with a great view, this is a very good place to stay. We enjoyed our experience.
