I had a great stay at Sophie’s apartment - probably one of the most stylish apartments I’ve gotten to stay at (and on a budget!). It’s literally around the corner from the overground, getting you into the city centre in 13 minutes but it’s also a great spot to explore the north east. Everything you need is a lovely, leafy walk from the apartment. It’s well decorated, spotless, stocked with cooking utensils, and the bedroom gets a shed load of natural light making for a lovely wake up call every morning. It’s worth noting there isn’t any table or dining space for eating, but you’re spoiled with bars, restaurants down the road so why bother? Highly, highly recommend.
