Lovely short stay at The Pad, which is a cosy studio on Burton Road in West Didsbury. Very clean and stylishly decorated. Warm heating and good shower provided. Sian met us personally and explained how everything worked as well as giving us some useful recommendations for the local area. Thanks also for letting us store our bags safely on our departure date.

West Didsbury is an excellent location for both Manchester city itself (a stop on the newly-extended Metrolink tram is 2 minutes away) and for the airport. The area has lots of great independent shops, restaurants and bars. Bistro West 156 recommended for an evening meal.
