My stay in Mark's house could not have been better. Besides of having a private room and bathroom, it was also possible to use the living room, kitchen and terrace, which I did. Breakfast was also included. Mark also allowed me to enter the house before its established time, which prevented me to walk the streets of Manchester with my luggage, which I truly appreciated. Mark was a lovely host and to stay in this house was like being at my own. Mark’s house is also very centric: a 5 min walk to Oxford Road train station and Manchester University and 10-20 minutes from the center (Town hall, public library, corn exchange, Chinatown, gay village, Castlefield, North quarter, etc). In Mark’s neighborhood you can find different places to eat, supermarkets, shops, cinema (HOME cinema), pharmacy, theatres, etc. I definitely recommend Mark’s house and Manchester... A very interesting city full of personality.
