The room was much bigger than expected, so that's a win. The house is located within a safe and quiet neighbourhood, and you can easily catch the bus to the city centre, but if you like walking, it takes just under an hour to get there on foot.
Laurence is the consummate host - she's warm, friendly, and full of excellent recommendations of things to do in Manchester. If you're a dog lover (and why wouldn't you be - dogs are the best) ... you'll definitely delight in the company of Parker and Teo. Thank you, Laurence, for hosting me!
