As a young, solo, female traveler--safety is huge! I stayed in the room with the red bed & it was super comfortable at night, multiple blankets were provided in case it got too cold. There is an overhead light as well as LED lights--loved the LED lights! And there is plenty of space to put your clothes away and even a chair and desk to do any school work. The room itself doesn't have a lock, but you can bring a portable one that will latch to the door nicely. Mario, the host, was gone pretty much all day while I was there so I really enjoyed being able to relax in the bedroom without worrying about being too loud--although I don't think he would have complained about noise. He was super friendly and helpful with everything. I didn't get in from the train station until after midnight and Mario had me call him to make sure I took the safest way to his home! There's a bus stop that's a quick 5 minute walk away from the home and the locals are very nie in this area. Mario was super friendly when we were able to catch up and I really enjoyed my stay. If I ever found myself in Manchester again I would definitely feel comfortable coming back here!
