The place already had excellent reviews so my expectations were quite high. Somehow, they were exceeded.
Was in Manchester for an exam, so it was a bit of stressful time, but I felt completely at home here.
It's a beautiful house and everything is exactly as listed on Airbnb. The neighbourhood is safe and quiet and grocery stores and public transport are easy to find.
Mark is the perfect host. It is very evident that he has put a lot of thought into optimising the place for guests. He lives there, so anything that needs fixing gets fixed immediately. If he's not in town, he's very responsive on text. He's xtremely well read and well travelled, so as a first time visitor to the UK, it was great to have him around and get some insights about the country. He hosted dinner for us a couple of times, introduced us to some amazing bittermints and Chrysanthemum tea, took us to a Christmas carol service and lots more. Very grateful for the good times and looking forward to staying here again
