    Nothing. Wish we could stay there more often

    the location was the best. To be able to sit and watch the ocean and the dolphins was a bonus. Easy to get to and ability to walk to restaurants and supermarkets when needed.

    Absolutely nothing. Everything was amazing.

    Everything was amazing. From the location, the cleanliness, and attention to detail. The view was amazing, and our host Mark was the nicest and best host I have encountered with out of every Airbnb I have been to. If I ever stayed back at newcastle, this will be the first accommodation I go to.

    There are some external remediation works being done to the building that did create a bit of noise, which is of course unavoidable, but a bit annoying at night as high winds caused things to bang around on the scaffolding.

    The hosts were incredibly friendly, kind and accommodating. The apartment was beautifully clean, and I’ve never stayed anywhere with so many generous additions. The apartment was very comfortable and the location convenient.

    Nothing - everything was either really good or perfect, usually the latter.

    Our hosts provided quite a lot of goodies for us to eat and drink, but to be honest, we're not really breakfast people. Mark and Karen were wonderful hosts who were extremely helpful and very friendly. BTW, the property is just around the corner from the Newcastle Beach stop on the light rail. This made travel into the City Centre really easy if we'd had a really energetic day.

    It was better than I expected. It had everything and more. The view was magnificent, located right across the road from the beach. Great sized balcony with comfy couch. It was METICULOUSLY clean and the bed, linen etc were really comfortable. Bathroom had everything a girl could want….. body wash, shampoo & conditioner, hair dryer and even make up removal pads!!!! There was plenty of if little snacks, water and even little bottles of bubbles and wine. The host (Mark) was exceptional with instructions and recommendations for the area. Couldn’t fault it.

    There wasn't anything to dislike.

    Apartment is in a perfect location to explore Newcastle and in close proximity to the best that Newcastle has to offer. Apartment is very thoughtfully and tastefully furnished and has everything needed for a very comfortable stay. Host Mark has really thought about everything to make the stay comfortable.
