Perfect Long Stay Deansgate OxfordRoad Uni Parking
Unfortunately there was an issue with the apartment we should have been in on the day but Maddie arranged other accommodation within the same building so there was no disruption to our arrival entry. In fact she was a delight to deal with throughout our 6 day stay.

Manchester waterside Haven
Absolutely lovely place. Right on the water, the views are amazing. Half a mile from Old Trafford, so it worked out unbelievably well for us. The place is immaculate. All amenities were well written and worked exactly how they were described. Highly secure place too. 100% recommend this place. Kudos to David as a host as well.

Marshall’s place was exactly as described and he was very helpful to communicate with even if it was late night, Marshall met us at 12am to check in even though this was outwith normal check in times. The apartment was clean, tidy, and perfect for a little getaway with links to many public transport. Great host and great stay!

Luxury Country Cottage (5/6p) Private Lake, HotTub
Absolutely magical stay! Sarah’s Airbnb exceeded all expectations. The private lake was serene and perfect for morning coffees and evening strolls, and the hot tub under the stars was the ultimate way to unwind. The scenery is absolutely stunning—pictures don’t do it justice. And we can’t forget Wilson the cat, who made us feel truly at home with his cheeky little visits (and his “presents”)! Every detail was thoughtful, and Sarah was a fantastic host. We’ll definitely be back!

Perfect family retreat on a peaceful Marina
Booked this place for my retirement celebration with friends. Fabulous location , amenities, and great house. We were lucky with the weather and we sat out on the terrace , used the heater and barbecue which was a nice touch. Everybody had a fab time and Darren let us have a late check out which was very helpful. Very responsive and helpful host. Would recommend this place

Stunning Canal view, 2 bedroom home, free parking
A fantastic few days in a lovely home. The house was spotless and well presented with a fantastic view over the canal and bridge. Easy access to the Trafford Centre and the city centre by car yet when you returned it felt like you were in the countryside. We will definitely be staying again.

Georgie is the best host you could ever ask for, nothing was too much trouble. Her place is spotless and was the perfect location for me, my wife, dog and mum and dad in Manchester as I ran the Manchester Marathon. We had a great time and would not hesitate to stay here again, thank you Georgie! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Wow, what a location! We enjoyed the lake so much, it was a very peaceful place to stay. The house is warm, clean and comfortable, had everything we needed and the treat tray was very enjoyable. Altogether a great stay, thank you so much. Can’t wait to come back and watch the beautiful swans again 😍

Waterfront House, Salford Quays
A very nice apartment at a fantastic location. Close to shops and tram-station. Maybe a bit for the center of town, but for us it was perfect. And Jo was a very proactive and responding host.

5* Quiet location, free parking, spacious + homely
Great house! As beautiful as the pictures and ideal for our family to be based for a few days whilst at a wedding. Laura and Lauren were really responsive and sent us lots of useful information. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Chic city apartment with free parking!
This Air bnb is literally perfect. Everything you need and more! Cosy setting, great tv services already signed in ready to go! Nice balcony looking over the waterside. The scent in the whole apartment is amazing, and very nice decor brining the room alive, looks better in real life than the pictures! Secure and safe car park is a bonus. Will be back for sure ✅

Manchester near city centre, Etihad Stadium view
Really loved my stay here. great view of the Eithad stadium and everything you would need inside. All very comfortable. I am a wheelchair user, I know this isn't advertised as accessible but I was still able to use the whole apartment including the balcony in my wheelchair. I only needed my partners help in the bathrooms and in for in and out the doors/gate. It's also an easy fully accessible 5/10 min walk to the stadium. The owner was really helpful, answered any questions I had quickly. Id definitely come back.

Urban Retreat ~ A Gem in the City ** Monthly
We had a lovely stay at Jayne’s Air BnB, it has everything you need for a comfortable stay! Jayne checked in with us half way through our stay to check we had everything we needed & went over and above to make everything feel like a smooth stay. It’s super cosy and Ancoats is a great spot in Manchester for some calm away from the hustle & bustle. Thank you for being such a lovely host! Laura & Rachel x

Waterfront apartment Etihad stadium, city centre
Very quiet, cozy and comfortable flat. Lovely rivers side view. Walking distance from Etihad stadiums. Complex has a free secure parking . Judah was very helpful and quickly answers my questions. The bed was a bid hard for me as I used to the soft mattress otherwise everything was perfect and couldn't be better. Highly recommend!
