Bluegum Apartments

Disgusting. Bedsheets and bedspread were unwashed and stained, hair on pillows, floors not swept, balconies not clean (and rear balcony inaccessible due to faulty door handle, which posed a fire hazard), torn couch, no security screen on 2nd floor bedroom rendering this room unsafe for our children to sleep in, power outlet hanging from wall, loose staircase railing. Management were adamant the unit was cleaned and were dismissive of our concerns. Thankfully I was able to wash and dry the main bedsheets myself prior to sleeping, and our children were able to sleep on airbeds we were travelling with. Unit in no way resembled photos advertised on their website. Would not recommend at all.

Our accommodation was somehow mixed up, when I arrived to check in I called to see where we were supposed to go to be told the apartments were not ready and weren’t sure when they would be. We were offered other accommodation at Jesmond Executive Apartments that we accepted and, in our opinion, was quite poor. The dishwasher had a bad smell and did not work, the bathroom tap was not fixed to the vanity and one of the rooms reeked of cigarettes with a cigarette burn in the pillow and there were other issues! Overall, it was quite a disappointing experience.
