Luxury Lavish City Duplex Apartment

The bedroom sizes are OK, there's a balcony in the main room that I'm sure will be great to use when the weather is good. The host is very friendly and quick to reply to texts. We forgot a toy in the house and within a few days we managed to meet and get the toy back, really appreciate that. When you manages to turn the TV on, you have Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney Plus available, so that was nice to have.

Let's start with location, yes close to Manchester City Centre, only about 10min drive, however the area is full with rubbish on the street, loads of fast food bags, black bin bags and general rubbish on the street. Then there's the smell of weed in the air all day, none stop, to the point that inside the house it smelt of weed - great when you have 2 little kids (4 and 6 years old)!! The parking situation is a bit of a nightmare, there's no actual parking on location and you need to leave your car elsewhere. When we arrived there was a neighbour arguing with somebody on the street The house, in general, is comfortable. When we arrived, the heating was on, so we were thankful for it, but quickly, things changed. The kickchen has wonky cabinets that are ready to fall, the freezer was unusable as there's so much ice in it that the door wouldn't close, I had to break the ice around the door and drawers to be able to close as it was leaking water on the floor. We are 4, there were 4 chairs, one that broke as soon as my daughter sat on it and another that had screws loose, so we could only use 2 chairs, not really a problem as the sofa was right next to the table so the kids were super happy to be allowed to eat in the sofa for a change, however we would like to be able to eat all at the table on Christmas day. The TV in the living room is super slow, and the remote has seen better days as only half works. The rug on the living room was very poorly cleaned, there are loads of rubbish glued to it, and there were pieces of paper and toys under the sofa, so clearly not cleaned. The main bathroom... there's so much mould in the bathtub that we didn't let the kids have a bath there. They had to use the ensuit. That's needs complete removing and new silicone. On the top landing, the bannister is loose too, so it's a bit of a hazard, again, especially with 2 little kids.

Great location for City Centre and we were going to AO Arena so was great. Owner Navin contacted prior to and on day of arrival to give details as to where to find keysafe on arrival and departure with code etc

I really don't like giving bad reviews but sadly quite few things were not right. 1. Details say apartment is accessed through own door, no stairs and on arrival where we pulled up this appeared to be case several main door apartments like I had seen in pictures on site. However my niece followed Navins instructions went for keys and came back advising we had to go round corner to get in and there were around 6 stairs then a security gate to go through to get onto courtyard area with more front doors. I am disabled and have quite bad mobility so this was wee bit annoying then as we went up the stairs it was getting dark and had our bags I went to step up last step and bang I fell badly resulting in fractured wrist ! The steps all had like yellow treads except top one it was missing leaves quite a bad trip hazard esp when dark and not aware. After getting sorted inside had look around downstairs then upstairs. Bathroom - wall at back of bath taps is really bad with mould to point you would not want go for bath just as well really as when run hot water tap it only runs like warm when all other hot water taps were piping hot. Shower in Ensuite is also bad with mould. We were a party of 3 women and a 2 year old one of women being pregnant resulting in us not using bath or shower made do with washing. The first night the 2 year old and mum slept on sofa bed as upstairs beds are quite high and felt he may fall out bed. Setting up sofa bed when put back down there was a lot of debris crumbs papers etc along fold obviously cleaners hadn't checked and hoovered it in some time even if not used as bed crumbs etc go down back of couches needing hoovered. Night 2 we thought turn double bed against wall to stop wee one falling out again obvious cleaners don't check behind or under furniture as was a lot of dirt and rubbish ! Property is described as Lavish/Luxury I would have thought there would be TVs in bedrooms upstairs ?

The property was nice n clean but location was not that good

There is no parking also no internet so hard to spend time there...So when u book plz bear in mind that u might find parking 5 minutes away so not recommended for the families who have kids...

Excellent host, was just a phone call away. Perfect location for us, kids loved it. Apartment was clean and tidy, included everything we needed. A big bonus was the Sainsburys, which was only a 5 minute walk. Would definately use again.

Parking could've been better if it was next to the apartment. But cant really complain, as the host did reserve us a place just 5 minutes walk away.

Good localization, nice and easy contact with the host. More than one bathroom and two separate rooms + comfy sofa to sleep is a good setup for bigger group.

The apartment was excellent, clean, fresh towels on arrival and cutlery provided. The host is absolutely fantastic, so helpful and goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. Would definitely book again when visiting Manchester.
