Marta's listing is perfect if you just need a clean space for sleep and shower. nothing fancy but a basic accommodation for a short stay in Manchester. the single room even had its own lavatory so if you forgot to brush your teeth in the bathroom (duh!), you can still do it in your room. the location is also convenient - less than 30mins to the city centre by bus and 55-60mins by foot (yes, i did it twice in the morning as i wanted to check out the area). it's near the park and shopping centre with takeaway shops so it's easy to buy food. just a note that the single room is situated in the corner beside the main street so you will hear voices from outside. it was not a problem for me though. i also had the pleasure to speak with Marta on my second night - really nice woman. :)
