Etihad, Coop Live, Old Trafford with Free Parking

We were going to the speedway at Belle Vue stadium so location was briliant, literally a 10 minute walk so it was ideal for that, plus we got a bus into the city centre which again was only 20 mins which was good!

Firstly, after reading reviews and seeing pictures online, we were initially disappointed with the welcome snacks tray in the kitchen. Its nothong like the photo, there was literally 5 old lolly sweets on a board! Also disappointing as we finally, after looking througg cupboards, found a few teabags but no coffee. The shop at the end of the road was selling small cheap coffee jars at £3-£4 so didnt bother! The TV is a smart TV so you cant jjst watch normal channels, had to go onto iplayer to get live BBC which can be annoying as we had 2 evenings there. The back twin bedroom window, althougg locks, the hinge doesnt shut so the blinds are flapping all night as it was windy outside and quite chilly inside and could do with curtains as we were awake at 5am when daylight comes through as its only blinds installed. There was a damp smell in that bedroom and when opening the cupboard, found wet duvet covers and sheet hanging in there! The double bed mattress is completely worn out and you literally lay flat on the base and was very uncomfortable. Also from the pics theres garden table and chairs to sit outside, this was not the case, only found 1 chair. We were lucky with parking outside but it can get very busy as its a sidestreet and you just bump up the curb.

Good buses in Manchester. Manchester Cathedral had spectacular wood carvings. Manchester University museum was very good but we had to cut short our visit to see if the heating had been repaired on the first day other wise would have had to find alternative accommodation

The central heating boiler failed on the first morning. It was repaired by the following evening. It failed again the following morning. The engineer didn't appear in the timescale promised by the host. Since the weather was extremely cold and there was snow on the ground and we are pensioners we couldn't stay in the unheated house so we cut our losses and moved into alternative accommodation. The host refused to refund the last night stay. The boiler was one that had a poor reliability rating on Which? We were told that it was fitted by the property owner but we had no answer when we asked whether he was a gas safe registered engineer. No gas safety documentation was produced when we asked for it. All of the electrical devices were of the lowest quality. Parts of the radiator covers fell off if touched. There was a large damp patch in the ceiling of the cupboard where the boiler was located and there were bags of material pushed into the cupboard all around the boiler. The back garden had plastic grass covering the lawn and a broken sofa bed in it. The broadband termination box on the front of the house had the cover missing and wires hanging out. All of the white goods were of the cheapest variety available. We were unable to get the TV to work. Apart from that it was wonderful but we won't be returning.

Real comfy bed. Good location close to city centre. House was clean and tidy and had everything we needed.

All was good

Apartment with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Everything as described on the website. Out-of-the-way location but with very easy access to the center by public transport

Loved how easy it was to find location, easy access host sends over information on how to access the property it is a lockbox access pretty easy. Felt safe as there is a doorbell ring. Shops walking distance n not far from town if you drive or get a taxi reasonable price love that checkout is at 11am. Thanks will definitely recommend for a nights

Honestly had such a good stay here. From the moment we walked in, the place just felt right. It was really clean, fresh and comfortable. The beds were nicely made, bathrooms were spotless and the kitchen was tidy and easy to use. Everything felt well looked after and ready for us. The house looked just like the photos and had a really nice feel to it. It was cosy but still spacious enough, and we had everything we needed during our stay. The location was honestly very, very good. Everything we needed was close by car. The Etihad Stadium and Old Trafford were both only a short drive away which was perfect for us. The Trafford Centre was also nearby, so shopping and food options were easy. The host was great as well. Anytime I messaged, I got a reply quickly and things were sorted without any stress. Communication was smooth the whole time and that honestly makes a big difference when you’re staying somewhere. Overall it was just an easy, comfortable stay with no issues at all. Would definitely come back and would happily recommend it to anyone.
