as a first time user of Air bnb i was unsure of what to expect, but great communication with Mark before hand put us at rest, and as soon as we arrived we were made to feel welcome and immediately put at ease. Nothing was too much trouble for Mark, even down to fresh croissants in the morning. we were even invited to join a family gathering, which was great and we were treated more like friend than guests. brilliant. the location was good, near enough to everything, with plenty of food outlets nearby, just around the corner from Oxford Street, and a small walk to Deansgate.
