Sio's place is in a great location with lovely views onto the harbour. It's on the bus route into the central city and it's a short walk to Kilbirnie and close to Miramar where the Weta Workshop is (think digital effects and models for Lord of the Rings, Avatar azndd many more) and the wonderful art deco Roxy cinema, nice cafes and restaurants. The room at Sio's is ensuite and equipped with small fridge, crockery and cutlery, tv, heater fan, comfy bed and plenty of clothes storage. The with connection is good. The kitchen appears well equipped but I didn'tned to use it. The other occupants of the home are friendly and pleasant. Sio was kept very good contact, making sure I had what I needed and that everything was working out for me. I appreciated that. I'd stay here again without hesitation.
