Student accommodation in Newcastle for your budget - from the affordable to luxury

Image
Your A-level results are in the bag and you’ve won a place at one of Newcastle’s universities. But where are you going to live? Students are increasingly cash-strapped due to rising living, travel and utility costs. Scrapped grants and raised fees are not helping either. Some flats can cost a fortune, with increasing builds which look they are designed for City bankers, not cash-strapped students. Planners say rooms are getting posher because restrictions on multiple occupancy homes are tighter, but the result is accommodation which is beyond the means of many. Often, the annual rent leaves little change from your maintenance loan of up £8,430 a year. But don’t fret, there are more affordable options. The best value comes in house shares. Renting your own place - even a modest studio - can be quite expensive. Socially, especially for first year students, it may be best to apply for official university accommodation , as this means you are most likely to be living with people wh...

Hostels in Cusco, Peru

Image
This article has links to products and services we love, which we may make commission from. We’ve decided to ‘lay roots’ in Cusco which in travellers terms means stay for more than three days. This has meant we can test different hostels in Cusco, Peru for you and report back on where to stay in this small city. Kokopelli I love this hostel. If you are looking for an electric vibe in the touristy area this is The One. Kokopelli is a chain of hostels, they also offer accommodation in Lima, Paracas and Mancora (both Paracas and Mancora have swimming pools) so we were keen to try one out. The hostel offers 10, 8, 6, 4 and 3 bunk dorms; private rooms and uniquely an 8 bed ‘pod’ room (room 105). The hostel really caters for all budgets. For our first night we stayed in the 10 bed dorm with a private bathroom and a door which directly opens on to the garden (33 soles / £7). Cute. Each bed has a wooden box ‘locker’ big enough to store your backpack for safety. The usual issues come with a l...

How to Replace A Porcelain Floor Tile – The Ugly Duckling House

Image
Man oh man… I am tired. I have spent the better part of this past week installing the new shower tile, grouting, replacing the shower head, and more in the master bath. Given that it was also Independence Day in the U.S. and most of my family and friends were out celebrating the holiday, being stuck in a small bathroom with bits of water from the wet saw in my hair (a missing splash guard  will provide the ultimate hair texturizing spray ) and thinset under my fingernails (the ultimate nail whitener ?) was not exactly how I pictured a “vacation.” porcelain floor tile " width="720" height="1357" /> Those posts — including how I wound up waterproofing the shower, installing the new tile (and some nifty new gadgets that helped), and all of that is coming soon. But first: let’s go back to the floor tile and fix a problem that’s long past due, shall we? If you read the post about the master bathroom tile floor install , you probably already knew that this post...
