Tiffany was great and her apartment was very convenient and had all the things you need for an easy stay! You are very close to some cool places like the Science and Industry Museum and the city centre is an easy walk.
Parking is a bit of problem in the area - but the YHA next door has paid parking (10 pounds for 12 hours) and there is also private parking super close that takes 11 pounds for 24 hours, which is good value for Manchester. You can also park on 'the other side' of the canal and walk 20 minutes to the apartment but the walk is horrid.. the area where the apartment is is a construction zone but even with that - I have never seen so much litter and rubbish in a western city in my life, (not just there, all over Manchester and Liverpool). The view from the apartment is especially looking at very unappealing rubbished areas, and an old train bridge, and the walks along the canal are APPALLING, with heaps of bottles and rubbish floating in the canal and graffiti everywhere. This is not Tiffany's fault of course, and the apartment itself is awesome, but I would not visit Manchester again in my life.
