My wife and I stayed with Lisa and Rob as we were going to Old Trafford to see a Manchester United match. Their home is the perfect location to walk to Old Trafford. You make one turn and it’s pretty much a straight shot to the stadium from there. It’s about 20 minutes or less to walk to Old Trafford. So if you are looking for a place to stay to see United play, this is the spot
From my booking Lisa and Rob were extremely responsive and accommodating. My tickets for the match needed to be sent to an address in the UK and they were happy to accept the delivery at their home. Their responsiveness was super prompt and they were extremely accommodating. We asked for an earlier check in and despite them having guest the night before, they allowed us to check in shortly after their previous guest checked out. They didn’t have to do that but shows how they go above and beyond for the guests.
Their home is absolutely beautiful. When we entered the house this delicious aroma engulfed the space. Lisa was making tacos and the nostalgic smell made us feel right at home. Rob answered the door and was very friendly. We felt like we could have chatted to him for hours. They did a wonderful job decorating their home and you can tell they are world travelers.
The room we had was better than we could have imagined. It was on the 3rd floor so very private from the rest of the house. It was immaculately clean. I’ve stayed at several Air BnBs over the years and this was the cleanest one yet. Not that any of the others were dirty, but that’s how spotless our room and private bathroom were at Lisa and Rob’s (keep in mind this was shortly after the previous guests left. Very impressive how fast they turned the room around). The room and bathroom was very modern and seemed like it was recently renovated. Everything from coffee, tea, snacks, linens and toiletries were provided.
Rob also had a plethora of local tips between where to go before the match, where to go after the match, transportation, restaurants and more. He even provided us with an unused metro ticket incase we needed to take the train. Once again going above and beyond.
We highly recommend staying with Lisa and Rob and not just for Manchester United matches but for a visit to the city. Manchester is a lovely city and is quite hip. Great museums, trendy restaurants by the canal, and a lot more. It’s worth a day or two to explore if your in England. Just make sure you stay with Lisa and Rob, they’ll make your visit that much better...Even if you support that other team in Manchester and plan on going to that other stadium.
This is a must stay!
