We had a great stay in Mike's apartment. The approach to the apartment and the lovely garden is on a slope and has tiered steps up to the outside area of the apartment. The garden has lots of greenery and a patio area with lights. It's so relaxing it feels like you could be in the middle of the countryside. The interesting and enclosed space make it a great place for the dogs to explore . The apartment is very comfortable, with tasteful modern decor and it is spotlessly clean. Mike really has thought of everything with the additional touches - fresh coffee and croissants and the huge supply of everything else that you might need together with the 'information folder' which includes a welcome, maps, eating places and 'how to guides' for some of the appliances.
The location is great too, close to the motorway, not far from Manchester airport and there's even a Petsathome round the corner (for essential treats for the dogs!).
All in all we had a very successful stay and would definitely go back.
