Like my writers below, a lovely, warm welcome. Sam picked me up from airport (ask for the price) and my room and and were clean and tidy. I walked a lot, so Emirated could be reached by foot but after walking 170 metres you could also pick up tram or bus, both well frequented. Take a Dayrider ticket! Old Rrafford is reachable in 50 mins so everthing could be reached quick and cheap. Sam is a lovely guy with music in his heart, always singing :-) I would do it again (this was my first time), that's for shure.
