John is very friendly and was very helpful during our planning to visit Manchester! His apartment is more of a basement dorm room, but it definitely does what it needs for a short stay. It's quite loud since it's near a busy street, too. There's not a ton of space to open bags, but we made it work. It's really just a spot to sleep and shower. It's also close to Piccadilly station which was helpful getting around the city! We appreciated our stay!
