Karen was very hospitable and extremely helpful especially when it came to parking the motorbike down the gated alleyway. We got welcomed with a lovely hot cup of tea and a piece of wonderful chocolate chip brownie and had a lovely evening getting to know Karen and the ups and downs of living in Manchester. If staying in the colder months I would recommend asking for a little more heating in the bedroom as the ceiling is very high. Summer months definitely not a problem. Would strongly recommend anybody staying with Karen.
