Property was dirty upon arival. Manager organised cleaner to attend. Property still appeared dirty with what appeared to be food stuck to blanket and hairs through the beds. Ended up not staying and was refused a refund or compensation. Will be following up due to breach of consumer rights.

Central, convenient & comfortable.

This is proving to be very comfortable & convenient & Im considering a longer stay with my business in Newcastle ongoing, I cant think of a better location for being central to the city & it allows me to at the end of the day being able to switch off & wind down & enjoy the peace & privacy this place has to offer.

So far so good. The design of the building has cleverly incorporated the particular angles & slants of walls & corners to ensure that no one else in the other units can see their neighbours either from inside or from the private balcony Suits me for the time being. The cleaning staff are very helpful & friendly. A couple of standard items broke in the unit as in the hairdryer & the kettle but thats to be expected when these items are constantly used by ever

I did not recieve all & when I tried to ring to see if it could be sent to my phone the automated answering system could not help at all. As we had an important engagement to attend we gave up in disgust and found alternate accommodation at another location. This therefore cost me extra and almost ruined our day Both myself and my wife are sure that we will not use you again

Do not believe what you see with the pictures they post of this property it is disgusting inside and out. The unit was not clean at all hair and food on the floors, the bathroom tap had literally fallen off and the windows in the bedrooms did not close. I.was told 3pm checking in we didn't get in untill after 4pm as the cleaner was cleaning the unit. They say no smoking but the whole unit block inside is filled with cigarette smoke which filters into the apartments. DO NOT STAY HERE

Apartment was very tidy and plenty of room and would probably stay there again. The only issues were that the shower constantly dribbled all night (needs new washer). Car parking was good the first night. Someone took our park the second night. We had to park on the street. 2 or 3 broken cars around the property made it look untidy.

Firstly the place & surrounding didn't feel safe, unit had dirty feel, no blinds on main bedroom, the sound from neighboring property's were disturbing. The carpark had run-down cars with smashed windows, after looking at google reviews stating that a car had been stolen, blood on walls etc, we felt it wasn't safe for our young family to stay at this location so after 20-30 minutes we vacated

This property is not as it appears. The foyer lock did not work meaning the o ly barrier between you and your belongings is 1x coded door. I questioned how often the code is changed and received no response. There was 1x knife on the drawer which had rust on. The rooms were dirty and had stains all the walls and curtains. The drawers in the kitchen were also dirty. The sofa was so old and broken I used a coat to sit on. I wedged cushions behind the door to prevent entry. There were sirens and noise often and broken cars that have clealry not been moved in quite some time. It was the most unsafe I have ever felt.
