The location of this apartment is perfect - there is a huge range of fantastic independent cafes, bars and restaurants within a couple of minutes' walk and the city centre and main shopping areas are all easily reached within ten minutes, making the apartment ideal for a weekend or short break in Manchester. It is an excellent size with a well-equipped kitchen. Alain was a really welcoming host - he met us at the station, he was very accommodating and flexible as regards checking in and out and he let us leave our bags in the apartment until 5pm on the day of check out, saving us from carrying them around the city all day. The apartment had lots of special touches such as toothpaste, fresh milk and a bottle of wine! Thanks Alain!
