Great location, great amenities

The apartment was well located and had many great amenities nearby. The host was easy to get a hold of and answered any questions we had. I would stay again!

Great location and place

Apartment was great, and location was fantastic. Everything felt like a 15 min walk away! Apartment was a great base, good size - there were 3 of us staying and we didn't feel cramped at all. The hosts were extremely responsive and responded to queries almost immediately.

Great stay!

Apartment was great. Unfortunately, the building lobby and elevators were dirty but the apartment was very clean. I would come back to this apartment as it was very comfortable. The location in the Salford Quays is walking distance to some great restaurants. Felt very safe despite all the construction sites around the building.
