A cozy and compact studio that is spotless and only a 10 min walk into Nelson via the Willow Way pedestrian way. Hosts Sarah and Reuben couldn't be nicer, and the flat was in a great location for this adorable town.

    Staff were super friendly and offered me a lot of help, laundry was the cheapest so far I’ve done in New Zealand. The beds, bathroom, kitchen are very clean. Location is good, was in a quiet neighborhood and still close to the city center.
