I was very happy about staying at Rory's, the house is nice and tidy and surprisingly quiet even though it's on a main road. I slept like a baby :)
I didn't see Rory much but he was very kind and helpful with check-in and everything, I would definitely to stay at his if you're visiting Manchester. Transport into the city centre is very easy and only takes 10 minutes by bus (even less by cab) and there's a lovely walk along the canal if you fancy a bit of town-wildlife ;)
