Booked to stay with my Mother and Sister, in readiness for watching a concert in AO arena. Stayed 2 nights/3 days.
Location is in Ancoats near the NQ; loved the area. (Great Bar near it called Jimmy's; they serve great cider and bbq).
We knew in advance about having to collect the key from local Spar; only about 5- 10 mins walk from Picadilly train station, and another 5-10 min walk to the apartment. This was fine for us.
Spacious with all necessary amenities. Apartment however, needed a good clean. Host warned us in advance that there may be damage at the property from a prior guest. We didn't notice any damage, but bedding didn't appear clean, and floor needed a good vacuum/mop. Lucky there is a washing machine, so I washed the bedding before use. I text host to inform them about the bedding when we arrived, and they told us they'd look into it.
Apartment could do with a lick of paint/deep clean, but apart from that it's great. Fab size, good location, and excellent amenities.
Host sent plenty of info in advance of our stay and was easy enough to contact.
I'd stay there again, as it was a great base to explore the city.
