Aykut was a great host - agreeing to let me check in early and when a few items were found to be missing he brought them straight round.
The flat is well located for easy access to town - 15 mins + by the 11 bus stop 30 secs walk away, or I found taking a bike down the 75 most convenient (20 mins there uphill and 15 mins home).
The local area is an interesting mix and there are some decent shops and restaurants about - pizza razzo was fantastic and the Pitt street market (which is closing and May relocate elsewhere) at the end of the road was a great find.
The flat itself is spacious but very minimally furnished - exactly as pictured so the listing cannot be faulted. Tv with Netflix etc and good Wi-Fi were appreciated as was the clean bathroom and good shower.
The shared garden was a nice touch and a useful place to hang out the washing.
