He is quite prompt with sending out emails if needed, and is chatty and friendly.\n\na lot of events and free stuff, particularly the fruit fridays, free breakfast items and the coffee machine. i don\u2019t know of a lot of accomodation that offer stuff like this on a regular basis, and I think for how much we pay it\u2019s really nice that it is. events are quite regular too, different ones every week.\n\nthe rooms themselves are really nice, but as someone stated there is no soundproofing, even from other floors. The en suite rooms themselves were clean when I arrived but the kitchen was absolutely covered in cobwebs (like seemingly really old cobwebs), and massive spiders here and there. My room also has a lot of cobwebs and spiders but not to the extent of the kitchen and I managed those as soon as possible.\n\nReally, the cons are more to do with housemates which isn\u2019t really in the accomodation\u2019s control. Multiple times i had to report food theft and housemates using my things, and nothing stopped until I had to use my own money to buy lockboxes for the fridge and freezer, and move all my stuff into my bedroom. Robbie the receptionist had tried his best with emails and even printed out warnings, but eventually had to deal with it myself. This has ruined the experience of otherwise a really lovely accommodation. I\u2019m in my last year and it has definitely been one of my favourites I\u2019ve stayed in, ignoring the theft.\n\nI will add, the shower gets really cold at random times. Leaving it to run for a while doesn\u2019t make it warmer so I sometimes end up with cold showers. The shower head itself came covered in mold, I think? I\u2019m not even too sure but theres black spots on it. It was announced at one point during the year that something was being done to them but I\u2019ve no clue if they actually did as I came back to exactly the same thing.","time":"1778060948","created_at":"2026-11-01 12:57:03","updated_at":"2026-11-01 12:57:03","deleted_at":null,"deleted_by":null}],"apartments":[],"distance":"13 mins by public transport, 19 mins walk to Central Newcastle","no_place":"0","no_visa":"0","covid_offer":"0","deposit_type":"Deposit","admin_fees":false,"hide_from_website":"0","university_only":"0","desc":"

    Where can I find the full termination policy?
    <\/strong>It is available in the booking section and on the documents page. You must read and understand it before confirming your booking.<\/p>


    <\/p>

    Can I cancel within the initial period?
    <\/strong>Yes. You may cancel within 7 days of accepting the offer or paying the deposit (whichever occurs first), provided you have not moved into the property. If eligible, your security deposit will be refunded in full.<\/p>


    <\/p>

    How long does it take to receive the deposit refund?
    <\/strong>Refunds are normally processed within 28 working days of cancellation. If the deposit has already been secured with a third-party protection scheme, the refund may take up to 60 days due to the scheme\u2019s processing time. In this case, the refund will be issued directly by the scheme and may require a repayment reference provided by them. The landlord cannot influence or speed up this process. Deposits are legally required to be protected in a third-party scheme.<\/p>


    <\/p>

    What happens if I cancel after the 7-day initial period?
    <\/strong>You remain liable for rent on a weekly basis, including any part-week, until the room is re-let.<\/p>


    <\/p>

    When will I be released from the agreement after late cancellation?
    <\/strong>You will only be released once the room has been successfully re-let and any required release payment or fees have been paid.<\/p>


    <\/p>

    The above cancellation policy is a synopsis of the property\u2019s cancellation policy. There could be a few changes incorporated from time to time.
