If you are just after a crash pad within walking distance of The Quays, MediaCity, Old Trafford etc then this flat will probably suit you. It was clean, warm and quiet; the check in process was relatively easy and the hosts were at the end of the phone for any queries.
However there are several buts. This flat is on the 26th floor of a block which is surrounded by others that are currently being demolished. As you walk out the front door, they are literally a few feet away. It also means it is very difficult to find your way in. You have to spot the right building site entrance and follow the A4 paper signs - not easy on a dark winter's evening. Do not try to follow a satnav! Also, there are no other residential blocks around so some people may feel unsafe.
The flat had quite basic furnishings - bare lightbulbs without shades, nowhere to hang wet coats, chipped crockery, no bottle opener etc. Our stay was okay but it could have been better. The views are great though!
