I had a great stay at Whitworth Locke. It was the first time I'd booked a hotel room/studio through Airbnb and I was pleasantly surprised. I was a bit uncertain upon arrival as you walk into a bar space but the reception desk is just behind. Unlike a 'normal' Airbnb, I had to provide a credit card when I checked in. It was a surprise but no issue. All of the staff were lovely and very helpful. The studio itself was great, I had asked for a quiet room so I was at the back of the building. There is noise but nothing you wouldn't expect from a central location. I had a Whitworth studio (I think the City studios are smaller?) and it was well laid out and had everything I needed. This is a great location, close to transport and the city centre. It was great having a restaurant and a cafe in the building (the coffee and brunch at Foundation is great!). The gym was well equipped and I had it to myself in the early mornings . I would definitely book again!!
