We loved our stay at Emily and Jack's house. The place itself it lovely and very clean, the bed super comfy and the house is within easy reach of central Manchester via bus or train.
Communication was great and nice and got helpful directions while en route, and once there we had a great list of local suggestions waiting for us in the room for drinks and food in the area and how to travel to/from the City.
Would definitely recommend staying at Emily and Jack's, and being unable to book central accommodation on a weekend busy with gigs and festivals in town proved a blessing in disguise for us as it meant we could stay close to the city but in a cheaper and friendlier place than an hotel room!
