Dean's place is sparkling clean and cozy. He is also friendly and considerate, by keeping the noise level down at night as I sleep quite early and also suggested some dinner places nearby as I arrived around evening time. The Airbnb location is conveniently located near the city and airport, which are accessible by bus. Hence, it's cheaper and easier to move around if you're backpacking. Some nice places to go to via public transport are Island Bay and Somes Island + Days Bay, which are about an hour away.
