I stayed with Tyra and Sophia for a month and always felt welcome. Having newly moved to Manchester they were happy to suggest restaurants, bars, activities that might suit me. They also welcomed me into their home life and we often ended up socialising together!
The room was a really great space with plenty of room for luggage etc. It was also easy to break away for a bit of privacy, having the top floor to myself.
Didn't encounter any issues with access to space (bathroom/cookers etc) and felt comfortable using the communal areas at any time.
The house is on a quiet residential street with a 5 minute walk to the parade of shops. 10 minutes in the other direction will take you to the train station - handy for commuting to the city centre!
I spent a lovely month getting to know Tyra, Sophia and Billy (the cat) so if you're considering staying with them you're making the right choice!
