I was extremely lucky to have an opportunity to secure Linda's listing on just a few hours notice. I was even more fortunate that her listing was just as advertised. Clean and bright and well-equipped with a fantastic view. But for me the best part was her sweet dog, Matti.
The apartment is a $30 NZD cab ride from the Nelson Airport and is tucked away from the main road, so detailed directions are crucial or you could end up meeting the neighbors. The walk to the Central Business District (CBD) is a comfortable 10 - 15 minute wall downhill. Just bear in mind that means an uphill walk when returning. I found it to be a good healthy walk.
There is a supermarket in town where you can stock up the full size fridge in the kitchen, which is outfitted with just about everything you could want whether you are heating up soup or roasting a chicken. There is also a veggie garden on the property which Linda invites you to enjoy. And Linda is nothing if not inviting. What a lovely human being. I received a very enthusiastic hello and a hug when she arrived home.
The neighborhood is very quiet and coupled with a high quality mattress, I enjoyed a comfortable night's sleep every night I was there. And I am an insomniac.
Nelson is a beautiful area and Linda can provide you with information on places to go and things to see and do. There are so many good things about this listing - particularly Linda and Matti - that it is on my short list of places to revisit when I return to the area.
