It was a nice place to stay. We had a large group of us and I could understand Kerstin's concern considering it is her family home and you don't want any problems considering you're letting strangers into it, however with good understanding and communication with each other I felt like I had to use the house like it was my own... a good thing. Nevertheless it was a great place for us all to meet up and go in to Manchester and we all knew we had a warm place to go to at the end of the day. It's a lovely house in a good area and Kerstin has been truly helpful and friendly. Must say, I want a gas stove like that in my house.
