Finest urinal (oddly) around - it's a great place (6)

I believe the answer is:

utopia

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a great place' is the definition.
'utopia' can be an answer for 'place' (I have seen 'Perfect place' mean 'utopia' so perhaps 'place' could also mean 'utopia'). I'm unsure of the 'a great' bit.

'finest urinal oddly around' is the wordplay.
'finest' becomes 'top' (as in best).
'oddly' indicates alternate letters (letters in the odd-numbered positions are used).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
The alternate letters of 'urinal' are 'uia'.
'top' put into 'uia' is 'UTOPIA'.

'it's' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for utopia that I've seen before include "Ideal country" , "More's perfect society on an imaginary island" , "Imaginary ideal place" , "Eden" , "Heaven" .)
