We had a wonderful stay at Gabriella and John's place: very friendly hosts, treating us to a luxurious bed and room, a large number of food options for breakfast, beer/wine in the evening and conversations a-plenty! It was lovely to hear of John's tales from places near and far over breakfast and in the evening whilst during the day the apartment's quiet-with-easy-access-to-the-centre location meant we could walk or get the tram/bus to all the sites we wanted to explore. Gabby is lovely and very keen to offer any research or suggestions on things you'd like to do on your trip. The couple and their apartment are very warm and welcoming and provide a great respite for tired, tourist feet. And lastly, this place is the purrfect place to stay for any cat-lovers! The cats are beautiful and are jokingly placed as top priority in the house (although we still felt waited-upon hand and foot). Be prepared for plenty of kodak moments with the cats! Thanks for a lovely stay and let us know when you’re in Newcastle for that drink!
