My friend and I stayed in the Station Brew Apartment for 3 months while on our exchange and we had an amazing time. Jackie and Sophie were amazing hosts, resolved a few minor issues we experienced very fast and were extremely helpful in giving us tips for exploring the local area.
The apartment is impeccably clean and has a very well thought out design with has plenty of storage. The beds and pillows are very comfortable, the blankets are very warm and cozy as well. There are multiple sets of bedding, towels and lots of pillows, so you can easily do your laundry whenever (there is a washer in the apartment). The cooking supplies, which were plentiful for two students to cook moderately complicated meals with a Tesco conveniently located about a 5-minute walk away from the apartment.
The apartment is just across the street from a train station and it takes about 20 minutes to get to Manchester Piccadilly by direct train or a 30-minute drive. The location in Greenfield, close to the neighboring village Uppermill, could not be better. The area is very small, safe and residential with lots of local little restaurants, cafes and bars with great live music. Most of all, Greenfield is home to some beautiful walks. Definitely check out Pots and Pans walk and the hikes around the Dovestone Reservoir. On top of it all, the apartment has some of the most stunning views on the fields and farmlands surrounding the village.
The Station Brew apartment is definitely one of the best places I've stayed at and Greenfield is an extremely beautiful, conveniently-located area. Jackie and Sophie were great and very accommodating hosts. I don't think there are any negatives about this place, would highly recommend it to anyone!
