Great location. The city centre is a 10 minute taxi ride (£10) or 12 minute tram ride (£2.60). Media City is a 10 minute walk along the quayside and has plenty of good bars and restaurants. So you really have the best of both worlds. The apartment (4th floor) is clean, tidy and well stocked with everything you might need for a stay in Manchester. It felt like a home from home. Well impressed.
