James was a brilliant host and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his apartment to anyone looking for an excellent value airbnb in Manchester. He was very flexible when I told him we'd arrive in Manchester later than expected, and gave us lots of excellent local suggestions when we checked in. Five minutes after he'd left he surprised us by knocking on the door again - he'd come back with a pint of milk for us (we'd asked him for directions to the nearest shop where we could buy one) - this is the kind of thoughtful, friendly gesture that makes you feel welcome and was hugely appreciated after a long journey. We found the flat to be very clean and comfortable and I'd happily stay there again.
