Francesca was a wonderful host. The house was beautiful and clean and she always made sure I had a cup of tea if I wanted it. If you're going to Manchester, you should stay with Francesca even though her place isn't super close to city center (just a £5 taxi ride away). She will make sure you feel at home and you will leave feeling so refreshed. Plus her dog Cocoa and cat Misty are a definite plus.
