A flying visit to Manchester with my daughter was made special by staying with Brian in his beautifully decorated and comfortable flat. Brian met us at the train station and took us home (2 mins away) to his high spec converted warehouse flat, overlooking an old canal. High end quality en-suite shower/toilet was kept absolutely spotless - better than some quality hotels I've been in. The big and comfortable bed had lovely, beautifully ironed sheets. And the rest of his flat is decorated with flair and wit! We had a very nice breakfast of several juices, croissants, choice of cereal, yoghurt etc... And then were on our way again. We were 10 mins walk from the city centre, Chinatown, shopping areas, University etc. A great location. Brian's a friendly and very helpful host. Recommended!
