We never met our host but they sent us emails in good time providing clear instructions on how to self check in and information re WiFi access. Our host was very communicative so we knew we could contact them at any time for anything (which luckily we didn’t need to). The flat was spacious and very clean with an en-suite bathroom in one of the rooms so no one had to wait to use the bathroom. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you could need to cook in the flat and though we could not figure out how to program the TV it was very easy to access Netflix on there. The sofas and beds were comfortable, so overall a we had very pleasant stay. The flat is located in a large building with many flats. The walls were quite thin so could hear our neighbour’s alarm at 5am but other than that it was a very peaceful place despite being in the centre of Manchester. The flat is also in a great location, very close to Manchester Piccadilly station, the city centre and the Oxford road with easy access to the universities there (which is just what we needed).
