Overall it was the perfect place to stay for a few days in Manchester.
Very clean. Although when it’s hot and you need to open the doors in the living room the blinds are such that you can only open one door confidently, the rail unclips very easily and fell down twice, luckily we figured out that it also clips easily back into place.
The mattress in the bedroom with the en-suite is so uncomfortable that one of the guests gave up trying to sleep on it and tried to get a few hours on a two seater sofa, without any bedding (good job it was a warm night). He’s 6” 2’ to give an indication of how much he couldn’t sleep on the mattress. I’d ask if the mattress has been replaced or take a mattress topper if you’re thinking of staying.
The sofa is not what is in the photos - There are two 2 seater sofas around a rickety old black IKEA coffee table and not the glass table you see in the pic. It just made us feel like it was going to fall apart and we’d get in trouble for it. If you’re a light sleeper the loud echoing bangs throughout the night may disturb you, so take some ear plugs.
Was saddened that we were left outside in the blistering heat for just over an hour before we could check in, but the host came back to give us a box of chocolates to say sorry. To take a little over an hour to be ready suggests the room was only cleaned from the time we were supposed to check in. If you have your own transport and little luggage and can risk a delayed check in, it’s very much worth it.
Upon checking out the host met us exactly on time. It was great to have clean towels. Everything else about the place is fabulous so don’t let the things I’ve called out stop you from selecting this place. I’ve merely mentioned them to inform the host where improvements should be made, or what would be good to know before staying here. Most things are easily remedied.
