Colin is a very charming fellow. I only had brief interactions with him checking in and before I left. He allowed me to arrive a bit early, showed me around, and left me to rest while he finished up work. When the post mentions stairs, it means it! However, the beauty of the house makes up for it (with the use of a guest only kitchen, entertainment room, very comfy beds, and a peaceful looking garden). Everything is sparkling clean! The met tram to Manchester is a lovely 20 minute walk, and his house is easy to locate via bus from the airport). I only stayed for a night, but wish I had more time to explore the little town of Hail. I would definitely recommend.
