Terraced house in a residential area.
Don't really know Altrincham, but only a few minutes drive from the town centre, so handy for the shops and Pure Gym there.
As mentioned in another review, it's more akin to a student house. Functional with a separate lounge that had a large tv on the wall, and a kitchen with various appliances. A large fridge is always handy for storing food and drink if you're going to be there for more than a night.
Didn't use the shower so I can't comment on that. A little bit of modernisation in the bathroom would improve it somewhat.
No real noise from anyone else who may have been in the house.
Only real issue is parking. The whole area seems to be resident / permit only parking between 8am and the evening (6pm or 8pm?). Parked a couple of streets away as that's the nearest I could get to the house in the evening after work as there were cars parked in nearly every space and a lot of dropped kerbs for driveways.
Left before 8am in the morning just in case there was some sort of parking enforcement.
