The host was helpful and communicated well. The place is inexpensive for Manchester. My English friend told me that the neighborhood has a high crime rate after dark, so guests should not arrive at night. The host advised me to lock the door at all times while I was in the room and also to lock it when I went three meters down the hall to the bathroom. As noted in other reviews, before a guests can take a shower they must remove the mop and big buckets of water in the tub. When I asked for a towel the host told me to use the communal towel hanging on the bathroom door. The sheets has stains so I think they were unwashed. The floor was dirty. Guests are asked to avoid interacting with the family that lives downstairs, not to look at them or talk to them, and to stay out of the kitchen while they are their. That said, this place was far better than the other cheap AirBnB room that I stayed at nearby, so other options may be far dirtier.
