I'm happy with my last minute decision to head out to Manchester. With limited hotel rooms costing upwards of 200GBP and unresponsive AirBnB hosts, I began to get nervous and almost got a Megabus back to London. I'm glad I held out until I found Ozzy's place.

Ozzy is an outstanding host. From the beginning he was responsive, friendly, relaxed and flexible. Not only did he make me feel welcome, but went out of his way to recommend different sights and locations in the area that catered to my interests, which I happily took advantage of.

The modern and spacious apartment has everything I needed, including lightning fast wifi. It also happens to be in a wonderful location, central to the city and close to many excellent nightlife locales, coffee shops, restaurants and unique, independent stores. I honestly got more out of walking around Ozzy's neighborhood than I did out of many of the traditional tourist sights of the city.
