Helen's apartment was clean and in a perfect location for me; not exactly downtown so very peaceful and in a quiet neighbourhood, yet only 10 minutes from downtown by foot. Small convenience store and pizza/gelato place right around the corner helped those late night cravings as well.
Access to the building and the apartment itself was seamless, everything was at my disposal and it really felt like home.
Helen really is a great host and recommended many attractions for both Manchester and London (the next destination on my trip), which helped make my stay that much better.
Would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet location while visiting Manchester, and would definitely stay again.
