I had the pleasure of staying in Rory's house over the late May bank holiday weekend. We didn't meet until my departure day but Rory was sure to stay in communication if I needed anything. He allowed me to check out later than scheduled and kindly gave me a lift to the coach station on my way home.
The house is situated in an upcoming neighbourhood and is walkable distance to the centre and also along a frequent bus route. It's close to Etihad stadium if you're into Manchester City or maybe you just like stadium tours.
My room was as advertised and I returned home happy after a fulfilling weekend.
