Arlene's place was perfect for our 4 night stay in Nelson. We wanted a place to just hang out if we didn't feel like doing something all day everyday and we were able to do that at Arlene's place. We don't like to eat out for every meal on holiday and Arlene's was perfect for making lunches and dinner a few times -- all the pots, pan, utensils, etc a person might need. The bed was super comfy, the flat was nice and clean, and there was plenty of space for two people. The location is great -- nice and quiet at night but within about a 5 minute walk to town. If we go back to Nelson we will definitely stay here again. Also, we appreciated the recommendation to go to the Free House.
