I was visiting Manchester for the weekend and Penny's place was best suited for my requirements. The location is ideal with good transport links to Manchester city center and Mediacity.
Penny was an excellent host and very helpful. The price is great for a budget traveler.
The only issue I see most people have had is the cat. This is not the place for you if you do not like pets and the issues that come with pets such as odour and animal hair. In defence of the cat, Emma is very friendly and doesn't bother you at all.
The room itself is quite nice. Just as described- lots of storage, warm.
All in all it is a good place for a budget traveller with a really friendly host.
