If you want a place to stay in Manchester with your car but don't want to stay right in the centre this place is a great choice. There is plenty of free parking attached to the Mill and it's a only a short drive into the city itself. Victoria Mill is a stunning architectural delight which is still in the process of being converted at one end but we weren't affected by this at all. This apartment had a view across to The Etihad Stadium and beyond. The canal runs right the site past too and if you are lucky you'll see a canal boat winding along it from the flat window. The area the Mill is in is surrounded by housing and there is a local shop fairly close but we took all our own supplies with us. The lifts up to this flat on the 3rd floor were quick and always working. You can walk into Manchester's Northern Quarter along the canal path in about 25 minutes or drive it in 12 minutes. The flat itself is bright and clean and tastefully furnished. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need for a short stay and the washing machine and dryer work beautifully. John is full of very useful local information and was one step ahead of all our needs providing us with invaluable tips about how to get the most out of our visit to Manchester..including train timetable links for my daughter who flew in from Australia for a conference and arrived before me. Thank you so much John for making my first trip to Manchester a very positive and memorable one.
