Cannot recommend Serena's place highly enough. It's a very short walk to the local station (then c. 10 minute train ride to Manchester Piccadilly), but incredibly quiet on a nice street. There's a lovely sky-lit common space for guests on the top floor, which was perfect as our friend was staying in Serena's other guest room. Bed was very comfy, room and ensure incredibly clean and minimalist, but had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. I appreciated that breakfast was actually provided! I would definitely stay here again.
