The location is good - close to all amenities. The cleanliness was perfect, the welcome goodies were superb and the decor and equipment were second to none. You can totally tell that the owners put a lot of thought and effort into making this apartment as good as it could be. One thing that would make it even better would be a cupboard or storage space specifically for food, all the ones we used had cooking utensils in etc. Overall though, simply brilliant, we would not hesitate coming back next time we need to stay around Newcastle.
