Apartment Stays

Very smart well planned apartment with excellent facilities. Very clean. Super comfy bed, excellent kitchen and bathroom all with lovely fittings, fixtures and furniture. Amazing view of the city.

Pillows need upgrading, as they were quite lumpy and so slightly let down the wonderful bed, bed linen and whole sleep experience in the lovely loft space. Easily sorted and not a deal breaker at all.

Buena relación calidad-precio. Buenas comunicaciones con transporte público, especialmente con la zona al oeste de Newcastle y Muro de Adriano. Nos cambiaron sin coste a un apartamento de dos habitaciones.

Un poco justo de menaje de cocina

Well equipped and maintained, parking spaces

Instructions were clear. Property was spacious. Management team was courteous. Public transport was very good. Deposit was returned promptly.

The building itself was rather odd. Several local taxi drivers said it was an old Jobcentre building. This would explain the layout. Subsequently, I suspect it was used as a residence for migrant workers and is only recently (or in process of changing to) holiday letting. This would explain the pre-check in requirement to provide my passport and verify myself - something I have never been asked to do before as a UK national booking a UK property. The furnishing was sparse. For two bedrooms, there was only a single bedlamp. There was no wardrobe or drawer space provided in one bedroom, and a simple hanger unit in the other. The toilet seat was loose and one of three dining chairs collapsed when sat on on the first day. When contacted about these issues, the management team said they would be addressed asap, but on check out several days later these were still pending. The property seemed to be still in process of decoration. One bedroom was a mezzanine affair above the kitchen and looking down on the living area. The walls protecting occupants from falling from the bedroom into the living area were solid, but only recently installed and just unpainted plywood. The rest of the apartment was basically a monotone blue/gray colour. In overall terms, the accommodation was somewhat bare-boned and austere in feel. Some splashes of colour, cushions and ambient lighting would make it feel more homely.
