    The bed is a bit loud.

    The unit was very clean, and next to New Castle Memory Walk. Going to the beach, restaurants and bars is a breeze as both are only 10 minutes away by walking.

    There is on street parking but being a well occupied street we had to park away a bit further to get a spot.

    Great communication from landlord, beautifully thought out set up with attention to details and making it “home away from home”.

    That parking was hard to come by. Also the owners had dogs, which was not mentioned in the description. They were a bit noisy roaming around above us at night. Also some people do not like dogs.

    Location was great and unit was nicely furnished.

    The listing should advise there are dogs upstairs that bark a lot during the day, which did spoil the tranquility. I like dogs, but these ones made a lot of noise. - We only found out about the dogs once we got there. There are not enough power points to plug chargers etc in. In fact, if you want to charge your phone in the bedroom, you have to unplug one of the bed lamps which is annoying and difficult. Shower seemed to leak when used which was not great

    easy to walk to beaches and restaurants nice owners

    Although we were definitely encouraged to ask for anything we needed, we felt that perhaps a few more things in the unit would make things a bit easier. The kitchen equipment could have included a vegetable peeler, large mixing bowl, and casserole with a lid. The main bed was very comfortable but the sofa bed not quite so much as you couldn’t tuck sheets into it.

    The location was perfectly situated between the city and the beach, in a pleasant, quiet part of Newcastle. Michael and Kate were friendly and hospitable. The accommodation was, for the most part, comfortable.

    The lounges weren't very comfortable and every step made by the upstairs neighbours could be heard.

    Great location, really clean, useful pantry items, everything required to cook a meal (utensils, pans etc), nice products in the bathroom. Lots of thought has been put into making the unit comfortable.

    We booked for a 7 night stay and left after less than 24 hours. Peeling/cracked paint in bathroom. Cup in bathroom was filthy. Very few power points - none in bathroom meaning that electric toothbrush had to be plugged in in the kitchen. One large window lacked window covering causing potential privacy issue. Owner’s dog frequently barked and jumped which we heard in the unit. Paint bubbling on wall just above baseboards which usually means moisture issues. Wardrobe had only one hanger. Floor was sticky - not dirty but likely because of finish on hardwood. Yes, beach was walkable but was up and over a very large hill.

    Location was ok for access to local shops and cafes.

    Noisy upstairs,(owners and dog) could sleep okay but owners live above the unit. In evening can hear owners walking about, dog running and what sounds like a robotic vacuum cleaner.!

    Location was good, but unit was a bit aged, considering the price
