I stayed with Helen in early March and had a very pleasant stay! Helen provided loads of information about the local area and Manchester, she was very easy-going and no hassle at all. Her house is close to public transport (bus and tram), and it was only a 15 minute tram ride into Manchester town centre. Lots of nice cafes around her local area, so enjoyed some nice meals. Kind of a bohemian feel which was nice.
Bed was comfy and the room was a good size, and clean, and the area was quiet.
Helen also (most kindly) picked us up from the train station in Manchester even though the train was an hour late! Thank-you Helen for your hospitality and hope to make it again to Manchester in the future.
