Niko cares that his guests have the best experience while staying at his place, and actively asks for feedback so that he can solve any issue that may occur. In my case the apartment had not been properly cleaned and Niko had it rectified ASAP.
The place is small but equipped with quality appliances, homewares and linen, making it a cozy studio apartment. Being on a rooftop of an older building it is quite exposed to the weather, but a reverse cycle AC and a bathroom heater ensure you are comfortable with any outdoor conditions. It is a pity the weather was rainy and cold during my stay, making it impossible to enjoy the outdoor terrace.
I recommend this place for solo travellers---and for couples for shorter stays (or if you are travelling light). I was here for 5 weeks while looking for a long term rental, and it served my purpose beautifully in terms of affordability and quality of stay.
There is no lift so you will have to carry your luggage upstairs, but Niko and his family will be happy to help if they are around. You will have access to the family's washing machine (a washer dryer in the communal laundry on the other side of the rooftop) and there are also clothes lines on the rooftop.
The area is very nice, well served by public transport and supermarkets and restaurants are nearby on Carlisle St.
