I heartily recommend Patrick's studio apartment. I stayed for 4 or 5 days while attending a conference. The appt has the advantage of being in a leafy suburb that is right on the edge of town. It is 15 - 20 min easy and pleasant walk to the conference centre, has an excellent run/ walk circuit around some nearby lakes about 5 mins run in the opposite direction AND is close to an excellent pub (the Lowry). The bed is comfy and I slept like a baby. Patrick and Jonathan (the property manager) did an excellent job of welcoming me, the appt is warm and snug, and was stocked with food - that was super appreciated. I hope to stay again!
