We arrived at Eric and Svetlana's flat in Didsbury (Manchester), pretty exhausted from a long drive, and very ready to just relax. We met Eric outside the door and he was extremely friendly and fun to talk to. He gave us some really great tips for where to eat (The Didsbury), and where to visit (Chester). As for the flat, it was beyond perfect! It was so clean and tidy that I didn't feel like I had to inspect the room to "make sure" there was no hidden dirt waiting to be found. The bed was very roomy and comfortable and the bathroom was very clean and well equipped with a nice shower and a heated towel rack. The neighborhood was quiet and right next to a beautiful park, and the village of Didsbury itself is really lovely. There was a great Italian cafe just 10 minutes walk from the house that serves delicious espresso drinks and bruschetta, there's lots of shops and pubs, but Eric was right. The Didsbury really is the best. We loved our stay at Eric and Svetlana's and really appreciated the obvious pride in which they host. We highly recommend their flat for anyone staying in Manchester.
