We needed a very last minute crash pad for a night and brian was extremely hospitable. His apartment is absolutely beautiful, it was everything and a lot more than what we needed for our stay. We were greeted with a glass of wine and even given a lift to the bar we were meeting friend at. Brian is a lovely guy and I wouldn't hesitate staying again and recommending his place to anyone visiting manchester - it's much nicer than any hotel, there's parking and the location is great!
