I can not recommend more Laurence. My stay in the amazing city of Manchester went very smoothly, largely due to this wonderful hostess and her two dear dogs. I came to a congress at the University of Manchester. From Laurence's house to the University of Manchester it was about a 20 minute walk (there is a bus, however the walk is easy and pleasant). From uber the cost is about 3-5 €. To the city center I also went by foot (+ - 30 minutes). The room has excellent quality, clean and very comfortable. Always felt safe in the neighborhood (which has great Indian food restaurants). I also loved the parkers that were closed by the house (hulme and Alexandra parks). Parker and Téo are lovely, super calm and loving dogs. I had a little problem with my flight and Laurence was very understanding and helped me (a lot!). It was just another proof of the amazing person she is. Believe me, if you come to Manchester, your visit will be better if you stay with her. thanks Laurence, Parker and Theo, I'll never forget you.
