Ben's place is brilliant for large groups to explore Manchester. We were a group of ten and found ample space. There are enough bathrooms so you can get going in the mornings. The kitchen is equipped with the necessary items to cook simple food.
Ben placed a gazebo with a table in the garden for us, since the kitchen doesn't quite offer the space for ten to sit. We absolutely loved that personal touch.
The house is in a quiet residential area and therefore no parties are aloud which is stressed a lot to the point that I was a bit stressed as organiser about every noise my friends made. But if you are just looking for a base to explore Manchester this is the perfect place. The closest bus lines are only a five minute walk away and lead directly into town. There are shops not far away and a lovely alternative student pub (The Old Pint Pot) is just around the corner. It might not look it, but they serve really nice pub grub!
I would definitely recommend Ben's place for location and the amazing value!
