Danny is the perfect host - relaxed, easy-going, but attentive to all the guest's needs, even going so far as to provide you with an introductory "pack" of info. Insisted on driving me to the rail station to collect my left luggage.

Hotel-style tea/coffee/mini-fridge in comfortable room. Tram station one minute away, but city centre also a comfortable walk. A well stocked, high functioning kitchen allows you to find your own level with cooking. A no issues bathroom, containing all the toiletries I'd forgotten to pack.

Note that Danny is flexible on check in/check out times, he'll try and fit with your schedule, which really took the pressure off me.

The flat is quiet, despite being close to road and rail links, and is a calm retreat from the Manchester city buzz. But on a whim you can be on Deansgate, or in Piccadilly, in not much more than a quarter of an hour. It's a nice balance and I enjoyed walking back to the flat from town.

I wanted to stay a bit longer at Danny's place, but he was booked on those days. I'll try him first next time i'm going to Manchester.
