Brian is a fabulous host - his place is beautifully clean - superbly decorated, well located and very comfortable. He generously let us check in from an early flight so we could drop our things and have a shower - you'd never get that with a hotel! He had a lovely little spread of breakfast, tea and coffee options and said 'my home is your home - help yourself'. It's located across the road from a funny little Manchester pub which became our local - and down the road from a cool hipster bar called the Temple that's open late and worth checking out. (ex-public toilet - super cool though). Finally he had some wonderful recommendations for restaurants - all are easily walkable - as is the entire city - but go to http://akbars.co.uk/manchester. Great Indian food and best meal we had.

Can't recommend Brian enough. We'd definitely stay again!
