Basia and Gerald have created such a special place. They are flexible with your schedule and allow you to work the way that suits you. The work varies but is easy, and I found it really fun! The living space is so comfortable and cozy, and you can tell that they've put a lot of love into creating it. I felt right at home! They're very kind and interesting people, and I wish I could've spent more time chatting to them about their lives! I had a fantastic time at the host and would recommend it to anyone who is seeking a relaxing space, while also being able to explore the Nelson area!
