A really great find. Lovely clean and modern 1 bed flat in a development next to the Baltic. You can't really beat the location for both Gateshead Baltic and Sage, and for Newcastle over the bridge.
Dominic met us outside the block after kindly waiting for us to walk from Newcastle Central (took about 20 mins along the quayside). He seemed friendly and was very cheery. The flat as everything we needed - fully-equipped kitchen, flatscreen TV, fridge-freezer, washing machine, hairdryer, iron, free wifi, towels and linen. Views weren't too great - over a building site and over the rest of the apartment blocks, but that didn't matter. The bed was o.k. if a little squeaky. The block was quiet, although the building work over the road had a generator that hummed all night.
I would definitely recommend staying here if you want more freedom than a hotel, especially if you want to cook for yourself. There is a big Tesco for supplied just past the college towards the centre of Gateshead, and there are some nice bistros and pubs over the bridge in Newcastle.
