We stayed with Bob and Christine for only one night but had a great time. They made us feel very welcome and helped us with advice even before we got there. The house is in a very nice area with easy access from the city and the airport. We only got there in the evening, after spending the day downtown but there is a variety of restaurants in easy walking distance.
The breakfast the next morning was awesome and we got to try some local jams.
If I return to Manchester I would always go back :-)
