We stayed in this flat from late August through late December and overall had a very positive experience.
Pros:
*convenient location; in Gay Village, within easy walking distance of all the key areas of Manchester, Piccadilly station, and U of Manchester
*across from nice park (one of few in Manchester)
*owner and caretaker both responded promptly to messages and concerns (thank you, Philip!)
*spacious
*includes bonus bed in little loft space
*great bathtub and new kitchen appliances
Cons:
*front of apartment is noisy on weekends because it is located on road where all the Ubers for nightclubs stop
*some minor improvements are needed (and I believe owner will take care of these if asked), e.g., need more complete kitchen items to make kitchen truly useable for cooking, need much more lighting throughout (Manchester is dark!), only one set of sheets for the bed
Overall, we enjoyed our stay here and are grateful for our time in Manchester.
