I stayed at Rose's apartment for one month and thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Manchester. Rose is a wonderful host: kind, cooperative and communicative. The apartment is about. It's about an 18 min walk to the nearest tram stop. It's also about 18 minutes walking to Unicorn grocery and several restaurants in Chorlton. I rode the bus just once and didn't have a good experience so opted for walking to Chorlton and to the Firswood tramstop to get into the city. The apartment has a washer but does not have a dryer which is important to note. You can hang dry your clothes (rack provided) or use the laundromat nearby.
