Very Good

  : A big apartment, WiFi and TV worked properly. There was some food for us - a little for breakfast and bottles of water and juice too.
  : We were cooking and there was no salt nor pepper, there could be more kitchen utensils there. Otherwise everything ok.

  : I had this property booked for the Sam Fender gig. as you can see its located in Gateshead which is about 10 minutes in a car away from the Newcastle city centre. as we arrived into Newcastle we received a call from the owner. he said the apartment had been double booked so he had upgraded us to a house. I checked the location of this new upgrade and it was 30 minutes in a car away from the city centre. meaning we had to spend more on taxis and it wouldve taken us over an hour on public transport to get to and from the city centre. when we arrived to the house to drop our bags off before the gig everything seemed fine and I reminded my family on the house rules. we were expecting a palace with hoe many house rules they were. we are respectable people and will always clean up after ourselves. including that we had to leave a 250 security deposit for something that isnt too spectacular. after the gig we got back to the house and none of the electrics were working, regardless of how late it was I rang the owner as we couldnt sit with no electric after paying all the money to stay and travel to Newcastle and surrounding areas. he wasnt helpful on the phone at all, he said I dont know where the fuse box is and Im not sure why it isnt working the previous guests didnt have an issue and the cleaners said it was fine its a great job we figured it out on our own and the fuse box has been tripped by the like in the entrance. all in all we had a very stressful stay and spent unnecessary money on travelling to and from the house. I wouldnt stay here again and I wouldnt recommend anyone to stay here as we have been robbed for our money

  : The location is quiet,so no problem sleeping. There are bus links in to the town interchange. Bus service to the metro centre.
  : The accommodation is not what is shown in the booking.com lists.misleading.There is an electric cooker ,toaster,kettle ,microwave ,fridge freezer in one location.In the living ,dining area there is a sink washing machine, dishwasher, two seater sofa, dining table 6 fold up chairs. Very uncomfortable to watch TV viewing with turned heads.No shower curtain in bathroom for use of shower, no plug for a bath, easy viewing for others to see you through bathroom window as the glass it not proper frosted glass.The house rules were sent late, which also was infuriating, especially when I reach the accommodation to find it had not even been cleaned appropriately.I would advise people yo really do their upmost to fully inspect and connect with their hosts and not have a uneventful home away from home experience.
