Wonderful home

A real gem property on a quiet street. Like a home from home equipped with everything we needed. A stone's throw from the high street with an abundance of coffee shops and eateries. The host was very helpful and responded quickly to queries.

Just as advertised

Absolutely loved our stay here. The property was spotless, well-maintained, and exactly as described. Check-in was smooth, and the location was perfect—quiet, safe, family friendly and romantic when we needed it to be. The interior had a modern feel and was really comfortable for a short stay. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Good house

It was a good property. But vrbo didn't send the children details to the owner, so we were told that we would be charged extra.

Trip to Manchester

This is a lovely apartment in a perfect location for events at Old Trafford. It’s very warm, clean and comfortable. The kitchen would have benefited from some breakfast bowls and perhaps a glass bowl for cooking and microwaving, but other than that it was perfect. We did find it difficult to get answers to questions from the host during the week before our trip, but from the arrival day onwards they were very attentive and supportive throughout our stay. We will definitely stay there again.
