I stayed at Katie's for three months and had a great time. Katie is always helpful. She was always happy to tell me about the best places to visit in Manchester and the North West, and which places you might want to skip. She is very welcoming and invited for brunch/dinner the day I arrived. The house is a charming old brick house with a pretty little backyard and English garden. The street is usually very calm. The bedroom is homely, and it was well-suited for home office under the Covid-pandemic. The house is just a short walk from Levenshulme, where you can find grocery stores, restaurants, cafés, pubs, and a good bakery. Close by, buses run regularly to the city center and the university, and there is also a train station in Levenshulme.
