We were in Manchester to catch a match at the Etihad Stadium. Rory's place is around 7 mins walk from the stadium! And 5-7 mins from Piccadilly station by cab. It was a great stay and Rory was very friendly and helpful! He guided us about where to eat , how to commute. The room was very cosy and clean with bright and neat bed linens. Wish I had couple of days more in Manchester. I recommend Rory's place even if one is just visiting Manchester as the metro link at the stadium is connected to the City Centre which takes about 10-15 mins by tram.
