Staying at Maria's place was everywhere would have hoped. It was only a few blocks from the heart of downtown & the river, yet it was so private and cozy. Plenty of room for myself and 2 friends. Inside the house were perfect pairings of antiques and artful touches.
I'm so glad we stayed there and will choose it 100% of the time when I come to Nelson again.

I stayed at this Airbnb and found it to be very nice, clean, and cozy. The space was well-maintained and inviting, making it a comfortable stay. One thing to note is that the walls are a bit thin and there is a shared door to the other unit, so you can hear the neighbors, they were a bit noisy Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

Response From: Mistiso's Place Vacation Rentals

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! I'm happy to hear that you found the space nice, clean, and cozy. It's always my goal to provide a well-maintained and inviting environment for my guests.

I appreciate your feedback regarding the noise from the neighboring unit. I understand how important peace and quiet can be during your stay, and I will look into ways to improve sound insulation in the future.

Thank you once again for your kind words and constructive feedback. All the best!

An absolutely little wonderful getaway! My brother and our partners were visiting together and decided to call Maria's place home for the night! She was quick to inform us of live music down the block at the pub along with a town goods market happening the same week.
We had an absolute blast here and made amazing memories! Thank you for a wonderful time!

Response From: Mistiso's Place Vacation Rentals

Thank you for your wonderful review, Bruce!

Maria’s place is fabulous. I was travelling with a friend and it was spacious, comfortable and had all the amenities we needed for our trip. The location couldn’t be better. Shops, restaurants and Kootenay River are all within an easy walk.

Maria was especially helpful in finding us additional accommodations when our plans changed last minute and provided us with lots of great suggestions for hikes, beaches and things to do. We will definitely be back!

Incredibly beautiful apartment and best value for the accommodations of any Airbnb I’ve stayed in. Bed was comfortable, wifi was great. Walked everywhere around downtown Nelson we wanted to go and only took our car out for longer jaunt.
The only thing to mention that was less than great was the ability to hear the neighbors / tv next door through the connecting door - I only mention for those that might be looking for a silent bubble - it didn’t really bother us at all and we couldn’t hear if from the bedroom.
Would love to come stay again - just a lovely spot.

Maria's Funky Bunky was lovely! It had everything we needed - the kitchen was well stocked, the bunky and the washroom were beautifully decorated, and Maria was always very responsive. The wifi worked well and we will certainly be back. This definitely felt like camping, so if you are not prepared to share a kitchen/washroom with other guests, and climb quite a steep ladder to the bed, this might not be the space for you. But if you love the outdoors, camp frequently and looking for something different, this will be perfect!

Mistiso's place is a MUST. This home has so much character and is walking distance to everything we wanted to see! We were able to walk to the farmers market, every dinner/lunch spot, the museum and even a super fun dance spot. The building is very secure and with the front garden feels like you step into a little oasis from the sidewalk. Mistiso's place was extremely clean and comfortable.

I loved my stay at Mistiso's place. The accommodation was perfect. The spacious rooms and the beds so comfortable.
The kitchen is very well equipped. The dining room could accommodate 8 people which allowed me to invite my children who live in Nelson. Maria was available and the exchanges with her were very cordial.
I would definitely go back there.
