    The apartment was suitable for the purpose of our stay as it was close to the university area.

    The beds were comfortable for the 2 nights, but I wouldn't want to have stayed longer than that. The sofa to watch TV from was not very comfortable. It would help also to have more shelves in bedrooms and bathrooms to be able to place personal items.

    The flat was spacious enough for 4 of us, it was good to have one room with twin beds rather than two double beds. There was milk in the fridge, so we could make tea immediately, which was nice.

    Didn't like having to leave!

    Stayed here in the top floor apartment for 3 nights with my wife and our 10 year old son. It is a fantastic apartment wiyh fresh decor and in great location (within easy walking distace of Ouseburn area which we love, and a few minutes walk to Jesmond Metro station). City centre is further but still walkable. Host was welcoming and knowledgeable with some great pointers for eateries, attractions etc. The apartment was SPOTLESS and the dedicated parking spot was much appreciated - I didn't drive for three wonderful days! Highly recommended.

    After many years we visited Newcastle again, this time with the children. The accommodation had to fit and it was! Friendly landlords, central location, optimal bus and train connections (Jesmond). You could also get into the city quickly on foot. The rooms were spacious, clean and the kitchen had everything you need. Thank you for the wonderful time with you! We'd love to come back!

    the owners were very quick at responding to any questions, very clean, hairdryer storage and having tea coffee and some essentials came in handy,

    Great apartment, good location

    One small thing - It was very hot in bedrooms with only one fan and too noisy to keep the windows open. Only one key for back door which meant you needed to leave in key box as other apartments in block, so when you locked door you had to then walk around apartment block, key code on all other doors very convenient.

    The apartment was clean and well furnished. Good location, local pub few minutes walk and few shops for breakfast. Great free car parking. Good communication from hosts.

    A tiny nit pick the rooms could have a black out blinds.to keep the dawn light out..

    As former student of the city I knew the exact location of the apartment. Nice quiet area within 5 -10 mins walk of Haymarket metro, 10 minutes walk to up and coming Ouseburn area decent food cafe round the corner, very clean, good security in place. WiFi good.. Good clear communication from hosts. Would highly recommend!!!

    Our stay was amazing, beds were comfortable, appartment was clean and such a great location for going out and seeing the universities which was the main purpose of our stay. We recieved a call when we got in to check everything was up to standards and the owner was helpful in guiding us on the public transport. Absolutely couldn’t fault anything.

    It was a lovely place that accommodated me and my group of friends. I was concerned about the sleeping arrangements as there was five and was worried someone would have to seep on the sofa, however when we turned up a 3rd bed had been placed in the spare room. The place was clean and modern and filled with all the necessities. They were very welcoming and easy to book and contact if I had any concerns. The area was lovely and there was no worries about safety if you would like to stay with your family. It is a good 15- 20 minute walk from city centre however it’s very easy to book an Uber. Highly recommend.

    The only slight issue we had was the parking as we have a long coupe car which was quite hard to fit in the space but we still managed it and there are other parking options nearby which the owners were really helpful with.

    The property and the service we received was perfect. It was really clean and modern and had a lot of quirky features / decor. It was really close to the centre (only a short walk away) and had local pubs and shops which were nice too. The owners were lovely and available at any time during our stay for anything we needed and they checked to see if everything was up to standard and that everything was okay. When we arrived there was complimentary tea, coffee, milk and water and shower gels / shampoos to use. Free parking was also available which was really useful. The whole apartment was pretty soundproof and not much sound was heard at all. Thank you for a lovely stay we will definitely book again when returning to Newcastle.
