7/10 Good! (6 reviews)
Great location, affordable apartment for a large group. Metro link directly outside the door to connect you to Newcastle. Apartment in great condition and would recommend this place. Check in was difficult as you need to communicate with host over phone to retrieve the code to access the key but apart from that it was great. Security deposit usually scares me from booking with places as i have been scammed before but rest assured there is no scamming here, with the host very kind when spoke on the phone.

8/10 Very Good! (494 reviews)
The room is very small and has no kettle or anything. The shower is in a level so be careful as we both hurt our ankles and dips by the toilet to the shower. However the staff are very friendly
