Sian's Pad in Manchester was absolutely wonderful - I can't recommend it enough.
Sian was there to meet us & gave us useful information about transport & locations for nights out etc. She also had a folder full of information about Manchester that she left at the flat.
The pad itself was beautifully decorated & clean & the location is great. It's 2 minutes from a very frequent metro station in to town & West Didsbury (where the Pad is located) is a lovely little area, full of cafès, bars & restaurants.
Overall, a fabulous experience!
