Really loved Kathryn's back house, and wish my trip were longer. It's a lovely little neighborhood, and a pleasant taxi ride to the airport. I was a little early, so I had my first English pint at the Moss Trooper, a pub very close to her home. I had an early flight out, but was able to arrange for a ride before I left the airport.
I think the walk into Altrincham was about 20 minutes, and there was a lot more happening there, shopping, more pubs, etc. and that's about as far as I made it.
Kathryn was very hospitable, and very interesting and well traveled. I liked the groovy decor of the room, had plenty of privacy, a nice warm shower, and entertaining books on the shelves. It's honestly these very kinds of experiences that make me love using Airbnb.
