We had a lovely stay in Bruce's beautiful basement apartment, whilst we attended a football match at Old Trafford, which was a 30 minute walk from the apartment. Bruce was very attentive with all communication. The apartment was beautifully decorated and furnished and Bruce kindly left some welcome treats for us to enjoy. Highly recommended.

Rental unit in Ordsall
5 out of 5 average rating, 24 reviewsChic luxury apartment
Ahmad as a host was more than caring, he was available for a late key passing and went out of his way to check what was open for us to eat around the apartment. The placement of the apartment was great as quiet without being to far from the city centre and the Co-op shop just next door permitted us to quickly get breakfast on our early mornings with zero problems. The sound proofing in the bedroom was perfect to nullify any outside noise and the overall apartment was squeaky clean. Everything responded exactly to our need so if my road brings me back to Manchester will surely stay here once again.
