1 Bed Deansgate Flat Free Parking

+ Spacious flat with modern lounge and well-equipped kitchen + Good TV + Comfortable sofa + Decent shower pressure + Comfortable bed + Very quiet and peaceful + Large balcony with gorgeous city view + Functional washing machine with air-dryer

Bathroom really lets the flat down and needs renovating to qualify as “iconic luxury”. One of the ceiling lights in bathroom were broken but quickly fixed when reported but it’s still dimly lit in the bathroom. The shower glass is also too small and doesn’t effectively stop water splashing onto the floor. The lights and electricity sockets throughout the flat need proper checks/testing before guests stay. Many are broken which is far from luxurious. Also the microwave makes a very loud drilling noise but it does work. I reported this and the host said it’s not a concern but this should really be checked and possibly replaced for a quieter model.

Location

There's only one plus of this property, it is the location, it was in the right spot for us attending the wedding. But that alone does not excuse the extortionate price tag and the false advertising of a luxury apartment.

I don't think I have ever had to leave a bad review about anywhere that I've stayed when I've booked with booking.com or airbnb, but they say there's a first time for everything, I'm just upset that it is at a time when I am out of work, in a difficult position at home and it has taken a lot to save up the money for this stay. We needed a city centre base for the weekend of my friends wedding and it was my birthday on the Sunday so we wanted to stay an extra day for a bit of downtime as at home we are both carers for our parents and all my time is taken up with Christie's appointments for mine. Everywhere was over priced because of the oasis events going on, we could have stayed in a hotel for the same price (nearly £700) but chose not to, so we could cook our own food etc and make it more affordable that way. I asked what coffee machine was at the property so I could take some pods from home, again to save money, they replied saying there's no coffee machine at the property, but when I arrived there was a Nespresso machine. The oven didn't work, even though we followed the instructions on the video's sent to us, we had already bought food and an oven tray as there wasn't one provided. The grill worked, but there wasn't a grill pan to use. The bin in the kitchen was also broken. The whole apartment is NOT LUXURY, very run down. Kitchen sideboards need replacing, stains on the sides and also in the bathroom, freezer needs defrosting as the doors were frozen shut, the flooring is coming up everywhere and it's pretty grubby, they must just run the hoover round and mop lightly because I dropped something behind the shelf in the hallway and the dust behind/underneath was unreal, maybe that is an issue for their cleaner but to be honest they are probably making the best of a bad job. Half the lights didn't work, only 1 in the bathroom so it made it hard to shave for my other half. No mirror in the bedroom.

Very convenient location. Extremely clean and had everything needed to make it feel like home. The appliances were all easy to use and we loved that supplies for tea were provided.

My parents were staying here and they really wanted me to stay overnight but that wasn’t allowed. I’m not sure if that was a building limitation or host’s preference because the sofa was big enough to accommodate me. This was communicated clearly though so it’s not really a dislike, just something that could be considered in the future for families.

Well thought-out apartment with nice touches. Great view!

The plug connection to the floor lamp was a bit dodgy—I got it to work and it was fine but unless someone reports it, you will never know. Nice to have would be an air fryer, which will save people from using the oven. It's becoming common to get air fryer/toaster/microwave combo these days. They are all auto-off, so no risk of fire. A nice touch in other places is a plug with usb A and C connections. We all forget those charging plugs!

A stay here is an absolute must if you are visiting Manchester! From booking the place up until checkout, the communication from Steph & Matt was outstanding. From clear instructions on how to collect the keys all the way through to every bit of detail you could think of. The apartment itself is in an outstanding location, literally less than a minutes walk to Deansgate close to some lovely bars & restaurants. The apartment was immaculate and a great size. The kitchen was so well equipped, everything you could think of was there. I would highly recommend this place and would absolutely book this if it was available every time I visited Manchester.

Honestly can’t think of anything!

Everything! The apartment is walking distance to everything, being in the City Centre with public transportation (trams, trains, buses) all within a 5 minute walk. The apartment was clean, fully furnished with everything is perfect working order.

Nothing.

Location is excellent.

The property was very dirty and had a stale food smell. I spent the first 2 hours of my stay cleaning but the smell persisted. I was refunded the cleaning fee but would have preferred to have arrived to a clean property. The property was really shabby too.

The location was perfect, very close to everywhere that I wanted to go.

The electric heater in the front room required fixing.

Stayed for a few nights and it was perfect for our needs. The location couldn’t have been better, right next door to our event. The apartment was a great size, with a full kitchen, dishwasher, and everything we could need, even though we only really used it to sleep. Clean, tidy, and really good value for central Manchester.

Microwave made a very weird (and LOUD) noise. Not sure whether there was something wrong or it was just weirdly positioned in the cupboard.
