This property is in an area of Newcastle that is being renewed but is still a bit old and tired. It is only a 5 minute walk to the Transport Interchange where you can take the tram all the way to Newcastle Beach. Buses run along Hunter Street on a regular basis. The Marketown shopping centre is only a 10 minute walk with both Coles and Woolworths, amongst other shops. Hunter Street is very noisy - both traffic and people noise coming and going from local pubs and clubs. The apartment we stayed in was really good. It had two bedrooms and two bathrooms, laundry room, full kitchen, large balcony and big living/dining area. There is air conditioning and ceiling fans in the bedrooms. Unfortunately the WiFi wasn't working when we were there and we weren't informed of this when we arrived. I only found out when I went down to ask about it. Accessing the underground parking is a bit tricky when you first arrive because you have to go into reception to get the keycard for entry but there is very limited parking in front of the building. We had to do a few laps of the block before we could park and go into the building. Most of the decent restaurants are a good 15-20 minutes walk away. There were only 2 forks in the kitchen though there were lots of knives, spoons and plates.
The fridge also needed a good wipe down on the inside.
Overall, we would stay here again.
