I stayed with Brad for 10 days when starting a job at the University of Salford. His flat is conveniently 5 minutes away from the campus; I brought my bicycle so it was even faster to get there. I could conveniently store the bike in the front yard. The flat is in a lovely quiet neighbourhood next to the River Irwell, it takes about 20 minutes on foot to reach the city centre of Manchester. The flat is absolutely clean and tidy, and the bed in the guest room is surprisingly comfortable. Brad is a great host, very friendly and helpful, his hospitality exceeded my expectations. I had a very pleasant time in his flat, I'd definitely recommend it if you are looking for a place to stay in Manchester for a few days or for longer time like I did.
