I enjoyed two very comfortable nights at Andris’s house which as well as being perfectly situated for where I was working, was also close and with very easy access to the centre of Manchester where I went for my evening meals – because there one is spoiled for choice! My room was clean and comfortable and the adjacent en suite was spotless. Andris himself was the perfect host and was there to welcome me on my arrival and was particularly attentive during the first evening when I had trouble connecting to the internet. This was not due to any problem with the wifi but with my laptop and Andris made a special journey to help me sort this out. That was greatly appreciated and demonstrated that he is an excellent host. In short I have no hesitation in recommending Andris’s house as a Manchester base whether the trip is for business or pleasure.
