In Feb 2013 I had the pleasure of visiting Caracas. I contacted Nelson who in a nutshell, gave me total peace of mind. He organised a pickup contact which was one less worry. The original plan was to spend a night at his place but as he did not have a room for me, he very kindly sorted out an... More

caracas is a bit tricky, but with nelson's help it is very manageable. nelson helps you in ways that hotels will not. he provides fair currency exchange, and he is genuinely concerned about the safety of his guests. he will help you decide exactly which places to visit and when, and how to navigate the city safely. bolivares are useless...

I decided to visit some friends in Caracas at the very last minute. I contacted Nelson to book a stay in his apartment but unfortunately the place was not available. However, Nelson arranged everything for me and even got me a very good hotel in Altamira practically at the 11th hour, for which I'm extremely thankful. Nelson is, hands down,... More

Nothing beats Nelson's Place. It was clean and spacious. There was a full kitchen and a dining room with a television. Our room was nice and cool, with a computer for us to use. But best of all, is Nelson's hospitality. He took us all over Caracas and showed us things. If we had been left to our own, we... More

We stayed with Nelson for 3 nights when we first arrived in Venezuela. The 5 rating is really for Nelson himself as it wouldn't matter if he was offering a cardboard box it would be worthwhile for the peace of mind! His apartment is spacious and there is a basic kitchen, bathroom and air-conditioning. It is located in a secure... More

Nice rooms in a 3 bedrooms apartment. Nelson is an American/Venezuelan. He was very helpful. The place is clean and nice and near train stations and market and shopping mall. Perfect location. He arranged for transportation to airports and gave map for Caracas. I would stay there again.

We strongly recommend Nelson's place, because of the most important - you really can rely on him. Venezuela is a little bit difficult for foreigners, especially if you don't speak the language. Except that he spent a lot of time giving additional information and advices to us, he helped us, when we were in a difficult situation. When coming back... More

I must confess I was a bit scared of going to Caracas, but once I knew I was staying at Nelson's Place I felt the trip was going to be better... and indeed it was! The place is very well located, close to everything important, and easily accesible through the metro. The place has got everything you might need. But... More

First of all- I’m very much with all other reviewers. It’s been one of the greatest experiences in my life and I’m very happy that I’ve found Nelson. I'm a solo traveller and it was my first time in Latin America. However, everything went as smoothly as possible – from the airport pickup till my last day in this beautiful... More
