Mary's place was the perfect place for us in Nelson, with easy walking access to a handful of nice restaurants and a quick drive to the CBD. Excellent views of the bay, coastline, and distant mountain ranges from the living room, bedroom, and patio.
The apartment was spotless, and we took advantage of the Apple TV and chessboard for a relaxing night in after dinner. If we had been longer in Nelson, this would have been an ideal "base camp" to enjoy the local wine and beer scenes, or for day trips up to ATNP.
