My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed staying in Claudia’s place for a week in Manchester - it really felt like home and for some weary Aussie travellers that are 8 weeks on the road in the UK.We got to take a breath and wind down, cook a few meals in the fantastic kitchen which is well equipped. The Northenden location gives you easy access to groceries (Tesco express etc.) and bus transport(no 43 stagecoach) to the city in 45 mins for only 2 pound each way. It was so easy to make it to and from the Man City vs Chelsea game mid week!
Most if all, I love the people of Manchester - everyone we met was welcoming and helped us enormously to enjoy our time.
