Frances' place was warm and welcoming. The room is big and homey. it's like staying with a family friend. As it's a no shoes house Frances had many different types of slippers to wear, nice touch. She made breakfast for me and we had a great chat while we ate - about life and Manchester and shows and politics and love. She even bought me avocados when she went to the market for my breakfast the next day at no extra charge. As a newcomer to Manchester who doesn't know many people, it was exactly what i needed. Frances is kind and genuine and i highly recommend staying at her place.
