I had a pleasant stay at Richard's place. As expected, the accommodation was clean and comfortable, Richard and his wife were warm and helpful, the Sale area was a safe place to live while exploring Manchester. Richard's place is about 20-25 minutes walk to Sale Metrolink and 10-15 minutes walk to Sale Water Park Metrolink. So, it is very easy to get into the city and to the airport. For anyone new to the area, they should be comfortable knowing that there are several eateries close to the house. There are also several options to buy groceries. You can find Tesco, Aldi, Sainsbury, and a Co-op in the Sale city center, whereas a Morrison's and a convenience store is much closer to the house, at less than 5 minutes walk. You can have your morning or evening stroll along the canal and through Sale Water Park, which I enjoyed doing every much. All in all, a good place to stay.
