This apartment was perfect for our first night in New Zealand after a long flight from the US East Coast. Everything was ready when we arrived, and we were able to contact Mary using the AirBnb email (she was very responsive) when our arrival was slightly delayed on the connecting flight from Auckland. The location was perfect, and the view is amazing, as other guest have mentioned. We sat exhausted on the deck to see the sunset over the mountains, and slept well immediately. This is the best apartment of our visit in New Zealand so far (5 days, each at different bnb's). Highly recommended, and Nelson is a lovely town to walk around, with some nice shops and easy parking.
