Jan is a very enthusiastic host!
Facilities were exactly as shown on pictures; bedrooms were spacious and setting very contemporary; kitchenette and living/dining area are not as conducive to large family cooking and gathering as bedroom space would afford.
We really enjoyed the path Jan recommended for walking to downtown Nelson which included fantastic views (stop in on Washington Street in the little convenience store that says "Mary's pies"; they are delicious); it took us more than 30 minutes to reach Trafalgar Street (Kush coffee off Hardy Street is really good) and it is a steady steep uphill going back up (we ended the night at the Free House on Collingston(?) at river end of Hardy and took a cab back (only 15 NZ$; they have a great system there as restaurants are set up to have direct contact with cab company)
