Location is said to be the most important aspect of all real estate and if you are wanting to spend time exploring Manchester then this penthouse has the best location. The flat is located to multiple travel options - and so much within easy walking distance. We stayed here even during the FA cup final and the subsequent celebrations and it was quiet and peaceful even though we know that possibly half the city was celebrating. The layout and finishes are exactly as pictured and so very clean. Other than no hair dryer - we had everything we could possibly need during our week long stay.
Spencer was incredibly responsive and the check-in and check-out process was so simple, and he even lets you stay until noon on your check-out day. We did experience a slight snafu regarding the hot water - but he was quick to respond and a solution was provided. We never felt that we were without a contact when any question arose.
The outdoor patio/terrace is a lovely place to send the evening and early morning. I do want to let people know that the patio/terrace is not totally private - the space is yours but beyond the pictured fence is a public access as is an area located immediately to the side of the property. the Penthouse is located on the roof of the building and other residents and their friends can use the space as well. Everyone that walked by were curious and no issues happened - but it was a little surprising as I had not read about that fact. Again the entire time those sharing the roof access area were quiet and respectful.
This last note is simply about the beds in the apartment and this is for any American visitors to note: An English King size bed is not the same size as an American King size bed and in fact the two beds are closer to American Queen Size beds. The rooms are quiet and very comfortable overall, and the bathrooms are great. I would recommend this property but only after sharing some of the things I observed.
