I was made very welcome by Bob and Christine and enjoyed staying at their house. It's a large Edwardian (?) house, beautifully decorated and clean, situated in leafy West Didsbury. As a woman on my own, I felt perfectly safe walking around the area and on the Saturday evening spent a pleasant few hours in nearby Burton Road where there are many restaurants, cafes and bars. I would have no hesitation in staying there again - and, in fact, would like to do so for my next trip to Manchester later this year.
