Ian was a charming and very helpful host, with lots of useful information for places to go in Manchester - a city I barely knew at all. He was also extremely accommodating as mine was a last minute booking due to a cancellation from another Air BnB host in Manchester. The comfortable flat has far reaching views over the surrounding area and to the Pennines in the distance. The bed was comfortable and I slept well and had exclusive use of a large bathroom. It is also nice and quiet as it's on the opposite side to the main road. There is a great cafe on the ground floor of the building that does a fantastic breakfast and food in the evening. The location is very convenient for the city centre and transport links and is a fast changing area with a mix of industrial heritage and new canalside development. All in all this was a great value stay.
