Fabulous location and a really lovely host. Laura left coffee, tea and bread which was such a lovely touch. She also made an online guest guide book which was really thoughtful. The apartment it self was a little disappointing. We found that the cleanliness was below par and the house was missing essential equipment e.g a broom and a drying rack that wasn’t rust ridden. The decor of the house was certainly interesting and the smell of the apartment was a little overwhelming, with a very strong paint smell. The oven we found to be very dangerous as it was broken so required gas to be lit by a naked flame. The cleanliness was made worse when we realised on check out that all of the duvets and pillows had horrible stains on underneath the bedding. Including a very large stain on the carpet which was covered up by a mat.
The parking was a total nightmare as the house is located on a very tight residential street. Due to work commitments we often came back to the apartment after others on the road which meant there was no parking and we had to find some else where.
The location was perfect as it was a short walk from shops and the tram into the city. There are lots of lovely cafes, bars and restaurants in Didsbury.
It was a shame that the apartment was a bit of a let down as Laura was a beyond lovely host and so accommodating.
