Carla's place was the perfect stop after arriving into Nelson Airport and resting up before our long road trip ahead. She was kind enough to pick us up (she also had another colleague who was flying in), but definitely seemed distracted by work obligations; our check-in to the home was very rushed and we were for the most part left alone (which wasn't a big deal, but just a different experience from previous AirBnB hosts and contrary to the expectations set by previous reviewers).
Her place is walkable (5-min) to the grocery store and a few places to eat which is nice, and her animals are lovely. The bathroom was very modern and clean and the double bed was comfy as well. There were a few spiderwebs in the ceiling corners but nothing that affected our stay. Just wish we had a heads up that she wouldn't be as available; otherwise we enjoyed our stay.
