Karen's been lovely from the first day I moved in. She was understanding about the early checkout I'd requested. The room was spotless and cosy, with bright sheets, a well-placed study table, wardrobe and a dressing mirror. The rooms, including washrooms and the kitchen, were always clean, and well-stocked with the essentials. In the kitchen as well, because the counter was always stocked with tea bags and quick-fix breakfast meals. There's a gorgeous garden too, but we didn't get to go out much because of the weather. And importantly, she was very particular about the temperature being comfortable in the house, so there was rarely a time when it was too cold - the heating was always well timed, even in the early morning when I (and some other guests) had to leave for work.
What was most unique was that Karen was always hospitable, kind and welcoming. Over the weeks I stayed here, she recommended several good places to eat, we went out for for a salsa social, brunch and even park run. And not to forget - there'll always be plenty of time for a board game in Karen's home!
It's relatively easy to find an airbnb which is clean and spacious enough, but it's been unique because it was easy to feel comfortable and at home here.
Definitely a place to add to my list of recommendations for Manchester!
