We had a great stay. The flat is warm and comfortable despite the cold weather outside. The flat is in an interesting area - still lots of renovation and building going on nearby but quiet. We quickly walked into the Northern Quarter and Chinatown to eat and to the Arndale Centre for emergency coat buying! It is also near to public transport and close to the tow path net work - I walked to the Etihad Stadium through the changing industrial landscape. Gillian rapidly answered any queries. Many thanks!
