Andy met us outside the building and guided us in to the private, secure car park. He then walked us up to the apartment and gave us a fleeting tour of the place as we were early and it was in the process of being cleaned. When we returned later, he'd left the keys for us and we were able to unpack our car with ease. He'd also messaged me all of the door codes, the address, and the WIFI details.
The flat was nicely furnished and very clean. The kitchen cupboards were stocked with allsorts of bits and pieces, as well as plenty of utensils. Some of the utilities (freezer and dishwasher) needed some TLC (broken freezer drawers, broken top drawer of dishwasher) but they were fine for two of us for a couple of days.
The double bed and fold-out bed were both very comfortable; the room nearest the road does get a lot of road noise. If you're a light sleeper, this may bother you. Sadly, due to the miserable weather, we were unable to use the balcony, but it looked great!
The position of the flat is ideal if you're wanting to wander in and out of the city centre. It takes no time, and even walking in the evening is through well-lit streets. I did not need to use my car once to get about in Manchester for the duration.
I let Andy know of the handful of kitchen maintenance issues (as previously mentioned) and he was very responsive. His communication was excellent throughout the trip.
Checkout was an easy process; I messaged Andy the night before to ask him what the protocol was. We were able to leave hassle-free in the morning without any need for a hand-over.
I would definitely stay at this property again if I were visiting central Manchester again. Thanks again, Andy!
