I had a great stay at John’s place. His appartment and guest room are impeccable and can be reached on foot from both Victoria Station and Piccadilly Station. It was the perfect base to explore the city: the street and apartment complex itself were very quiet, and only a short walk from many restaurants, bars and shops. The room was great, with a comfy bed, a fan and a heater, and a private ensuite bathroom.
John is a friendly and welcoming host, I highly recommend staying with John when you’re a planning a trip to Manchester.
