Our host generously offered to pick us up from station which was amazing because it was 11pm when we arrived. The apartment was immaculately clean and a gorgeous vase of beautiful roses was on the table and in bathroom which was really homey. It was in a quiet cul de sac of cute little village homes and on ground level so stairs not an issue. The first day our host dropped us in to the university to see our son which was the purpose of our visit and clearly pointed out the transport options. It was a great location and easy access to town via train or bus. Our luggage was delayed and they took collection of it the following day and left in our room for when we arrived back. The bathroom and kitchen was equipped with essentials which was a great help especially as our toiletries were in our lost luggage! We just opened the door and felt very at home staying there. We'll definitely go back if we visit Manchester again.
