I was in Manchester for a couple of days and stayed in Rory´s place. It was a very nice experience. He was very clear in the instructions and explanations for the general settlement in the house (and this helped a lot). It was very thoughtful that there was a plug converter for europinion adapters which I had needed desperately :) He also cared much if everything is on the way during my stay. As mentioned by others, house is very close to the bus station and in general to the city. I was very happy with this stay and would be happy to go again.
