We really enjoyed our stay. The place was very clean, comfortable and well-equipped. The layout of the apartment worked well, and it was everything we needed. All communications with our hosts were really helpful and friendly. It's a great location, and we'd readily stay here again.

We had the loveliest 5 night stay, so comfortable! An awesome location, walk to everything that you need and the bus is right outside the front door. Beautiful apartment, so well appointed, exactly as advertised. Hosts are super responsive and helpful. The apartment has everything needed for a longer stay which is great, again so very comfy-Oh and a fab bed too! Really like the secure building as well. Thank you FAM for a wonderful stay, looking forward to booking your great apartment again 😊

Beautiful place, very close to restaurants and the beach. The apartment itself has everything you would need for a home away from home. It is absolutely spotless with clean sheets and towels. The kitchen is fully equipped with utensils, pots and pans. Wollies is across the street which makes shopping super easy. We had a rental EV, and there is an AC @11kW charging station (Chargefox) about 300m from the apartment (max. stay of 4hrs paid parking). Carpark space is at a premium in Newcastle, so be prepared to pay $5+ per hour, Monday to Friday (9am and 5pm). There is free parking as indicated in the apartment description (about 800m to 1km away) - but be ready for a heart-pumping workout, as there are steep hills to climb to get to it (I would not recommend it if you have heart issues (like me), or are generally unfit). There is also fierce competition for those free parking spaces, as there is with the paid parking spaces. So be prepared to circle the block a few times.
