I highly recommend Laura’s apartment. Laura is a wonderful host. Easy to communicate with and very friendly. Ancoats is a great area - lots of coffee houses and restaurants and canals to walk along. It’s 5 min walk to the city centre, 12 mins to Piccadilly station, and 25 mins to the UOM main campus. The apartment is fabulous. I stayed there for 10 weeks while working at the university and it felt like a home away from home. It’s comfortably furnished with a fully equipped kitchen. I loved the floor heating. Thank you Laura!
