This is the second time i’ve stayed at Brian’s place which should already indicate to you that this is somewhere I would highly recommend to anyone wishing to stay in Manchester. You couldn’t find a better host - Brian is so accommodating, friendly and helpful (again offering to take me to the train station). The room is spotless, the bed is comfy, the shower is great and the decor is fab! There’s a hair dryer in the room as well as WiFi. In terms of location, I don’t think you can beat it. Brian’s place is ideally situated in the city centre, meaning everything is accessible on foot. The flat is a minutes walk away from Oxford Road where you will find both Manchester Met and Manchester Uni, a couple of minutes walk from Albert Square, 10 minutes from Piccadilly Gardens, 15 minutes from Manchester Piccadilly train station and the Northern quarter, and 5-10 minutes from shops, bars and the Arndale shopping centre (about 15 minutes away). As a lone female traveller, I’d also like to point out that I felt perfectly safe walking around the area on my own.
If you are looking to stay in the heart of Manchester, then this is the place to stay!
