We gave very late notice about our wish to stay with John, but communication was swift and he managed to welcome us in person and show us to a spacious, pretty, sparkling clean room. John has a lovely tranquil vibe and made us and our little dog feel welcome and at ease. His place is in a calm pretty neighbourhood, easy walking distance from shops and trainstation. About 10 minute trainride to central Manchester. We've had a lovely time and would certainly recommend his place!
