WOW! What an absolutely beautiful flat! Exactly like the pictures! Comfy, cosy, stylish - it had it all!
The flat is massive, with lots of space and storage. There are 3 bedrooms and an open-space on the top floor that essentially doubles as a bedroom. Plenty of space for 8 guests - and the sofa in the open-plan living room/kitchen was so big and comfy that two people could easily sleep on it. (So in a pinch, 10 could sleep here easily). The roof terrace was also beautiful (though the views are limited - but that really wasn't a problem for us). There is also a lovely space to use as a desk/ workspace or in our case we used it as a vanity area.
The location is amazing! You might be worried about noise being in such a busy and central location, but luckily it's just tucked away on a quiet street, so noise was not an issue at all. You're very close to the Arndale shopping centre, and basically every amenity you could ever need, and there is (paid) parking directly behind the flat.
This place would be perfect for couples holidays, work retreats and weekend getaways, but you really could stay here for weeks and not feel in top of each other. The only issue might be accessibility - if you are someone that struggles with stairs for whatever reason - there are a lot of them both to access the flat and within the flat.
Communication was excellent and Karen -the housekeeper - was very attentive, patient, and understanding with any issues we did have.
Overall, it was a magnificent stay - perfect for 8 of us to celebrate Manchester Pride over the August Bank Holiday. Great both for going out and staying in (of which we did both).
