In short, I would definitley recommend this flat for its value, comfort and convenience.
Nygel was a fantastic host. From start to finish he stayed in contact with clear, quick and helpful communications. His friend Edward settled me into the flat and was extremely helpful and considerate, ensuring I felt completely at home and relaxed. They both made every effort to ensure I was comfortable and happy. The flat is just five minutes drive and less than 15 minutes walk from University of Manchester, where I was working. Free on-street parking was limited, however, I always found a spot nearby. The flat is in an unattractive tower block. But don't let that put you off. It's lovely inside, compact but not small. It has a good shower and bath with nice touches like free breakfast foods and biscuits left out. The kitchen was equipped with everything I needed and more. The flat was a great place to come back to after a long day's work. It was quiet with some distant traffic noise outisde (you can only hear this if the windows are open). The bedroom is cosy with good dark curtains to keep the light out. The matress was lower range quality but had a comfortable foam topper. Given how poorly I sleep I slept very well there.
