I stayed with Linda and Alan for a few weeks because of moving to Manchester. They were very kind and helped me a lot in finding nice places and by chatting about the city. They always made me feel home at their place. They freed some place in the fridge and in the kitchen for me to store my own stuff and I also could use their kitchen for cooking. I really enjoyed the stay at their place and can really recommend staying there. In addition, they helped me after my first stay with quite flexibly extending it until I found my own flat.
The room is very nice and silent with a really cosy bed, a desk and a TV. The bed is perfect for sleeping and the shared bathroom is really huge and has always been clean. Also the house itself is very cosy with a small garden where I also have seen a fox and other animals during breakfast.
The location of the house is a little bit outside of the city, in a quiet area, but within a few minutes walk you reach the bus and the train station. The bus arrives up to 20 times in an hour and you are in the city centre in an approx. 20 min drive. There are also some nice pubs and all necessary shops in the nearby if you want to eat out or by something.
Thanks for your help and your friendly welcome! I would definitely stay at your place again.
