Bob and Christine's place was perfect for my visit to Manchester. I booked their place based on value and reviews, but I was surprised to read in my Lonely Planet guide after arriving that their neighborhood is where "in the know" Mancunians go to dine. A bunch of restaurants are a short walk away and the center of Manchester is just 25 minute bus or light rail ride away. Their provided breakfast is a nice way to meet them and have a bit of conversation with other guests.
