Summary:
This light and spacious City Centre home is the perfect place for a city break, either long or short. Right at the heart of Manchester’s historic commercial core, the location is so central you can reach all of Manchester's top attractions on foot. To help you make the most of your trip we've handmade a welcome guide with all of our favourite things to do & places to eat and drink. We LOVE Manchester and can't wait to share it with you.
You'll love the time you spend in our clean, comfy home :)
The Space:
A much-loved space with massive ceilings and solid oak beams making it feel cosy and intimate as well as airy. The building is a former textile warehouse with listed status, so you’re sleeping inside Manchester’s history here. Being on the 4th floor it's peaceful even though you’re right in the heart of things.
The layout is clever. The living room downstairs has a comfy armchair as well as a sofa you can stretch out on. There’s a kitchen you can actually cook in(!) and a downstairs toilet. The sleeping area upstairs has a very comfy double bed and the main bathroom leads on from there where you can enjoy a hot bath or rainfall shower. Please mind the step in the main bathroom. There’s a second toilet in there too.
Manchester has plenty to explore, but if you want to relax at home you’ll find loads of books and a yoga mat under the stairs that you’re welcome to use.
Stay comfortably for longer - use the iron, ironing board and washing machine - all inside the apartment and free to use.
We also offer a fixed price meet & greet service from Manchester airport direct to our apartment. Just let us know if you'd like us to help organise.
Guest Access:
You’ll have full, private access to the entire property for the duration of your stay.
Check-in is from 3PM and check-out is by 11AM. If you’d like an early check-in or late check-out, just let us know - we can often accommodate for a small additional fee. You can conveniently check yourself in, and we’ll send all the details ahead of your arrival.
You’ll receive a digital guidebook with all the key information you need for your stay, including WiFi details, parking instructions, and how everything works in the property.
You’ll also find our handpicked recommendations for the best places to eat, drink, and explore – complete with handy links so you can book ahead and make the most of every moment.
Looking for football tickets? Our trusted contact who can help with tickets to all games is listed in the guidebook too.
