The apartment is in a safe, clean area next to the train and metro stations, surrounded by great restaurants and quaint English pubs, and a short walk from supermarkets and cafes. There were a few maintenance issues which were fixed soon enough and some cleaning issues took a while to resolve, but the flat was otherwise in a good condition. The photos here show parts of different units -- we had one with skylights, which lit up the whole place beautifully during the day. And our bathroom was actually much nicer than the one shown here, though unfortunately the shower water pressure was really quite weak. Another issue was the internet was at times patchy. Worth noting for any light sleepers is the bedroom skylight had a solid black-out shade that kept the room perfectly dark. All in all a nice place to stay in Manchester.
