Although I arrived quite late due to a train delay, Gertrude was most welcoming and made me a fine cup of tea – we then had a good chat! I was given the tour of the house and offered the use of the kitchen & wifi. The room was excellent… comfy & warm and the righteous shower room was right next to the bedroom. The location is quite convenient – I was able to walk to the University in about 20 mins (add about 5 more mins or so for the city centre). I did use my sat nav quite a bit as I don't know Manchester. I didn't see much of my hosts for the 3 days, but that was because I was up early every day and back quite late in the evening.
All-in-all a most excellent stay and I would highly recommend this AirBnB.
