Elaine and Dave were excellent hosts, and their room was excellent. They run their Airbnb in a very professional and detail-oriented way, the service is markedly better than a hotel in thoughtful but non-intrusive ways. One example--I was the only guest using the shared bathroom, and at one point I left a towel in the bathroom to dry. Upon returning home that day, Elaine had replaced it with a new, clean towel. This level of detail and care is not common on Airbnb, and in my opinion would set Elaine and Dave's place apart from many others that might be quite fine, but just not as "nice".
The location is excellent, just a few mins walk from bus and train to Manchester (20-30mins), and a GBP 20 taxi ride from the airport, which takes 15mins. The listing includes a nice breakfast. There are a few nice restaurants and a standard Costa Coffee with much work space within a ~10mins walk.
Overall, I would be very surprised if I were to come back to Manchester and not stay at this Airbnb.
