    The property was immaculate and tastefully decorated. Even better than the pictures. The host was very friendly and helpful. Everything a guest might need was provided. The property is very clean, quiet and a 5 minute drive from the city centre although there are local shops in the area.

    The property was spotlessly clean. The host gave very clear, friendly information and advice. The location was very quiet yet close proximity to the city centre. Parking right outside the door. Lovely garden.

    The property is in a quiet residential area and is close to some super stores. It is easy to get to Durham city center and Newcastle either using a bus or car. The property itself is newly renovated and was very clean and well looked after. Very good free wi-fi throughout the house and the speed was great. The host is just a phone call away in case of any issues, though we didn't need to call Josephine on any issue!

    New house in great location- pubs, take aways, restaurants and mini-supermarkets within 1 minutes walk. 2 minutes walk to bus to Durham (10 min ride) or Newcastle. House was spotless, comfortable and homely. Great host- stayed in contact to make sure we had everything we needed (which we did.) Hope to stay again!
