I live in a modern, spacious three-bedroomed house. There are two double bedrooms and one single. The property presents a driveway to the front and a green space at the rear, which is good for relaxing. The house is secure and safe. It is situated in a quiet area and well presented in a very clean environment. The neighbours are friendly and the environment is kept alive with the laughter of playing children. There is easy access to all local amenities.

About the Area
My house is just 5 minutes drive from the train station. Buses are available every 15 minutes to my home. The area has a Medical Centre, shopping points, a recreational centre, a park for a short stroll and relaxation and also local libraries. The Manchester museum would certainly inspire those who admire works of art and there are lots of green houses around for those who relish nature's beauty. Three minutes drive on either way from my house will take you to one of two cinemas where you can view movies of your choice. Seeing that Manchester is the sports city, if you like bike riding, you would no doubt want to compete in bike riding or just ride for sheer fun. More than that, in clear view just a few hundred metres from my house can be seen the imposing pinnacle of Manchester Climbing Centre, a major attraction for sport lovers. A little further on there is the massive sports stadium where frequent matches are played, including football. It attracts tens of thousands. It once housed the Commonwealth Games. Most recently a brand new sports academy has been built to hone the talents of young aspiring athletes. An overhead bridge-like arch connects the routes that lead to the Sports Complex.

Leslie was very welcoming. He did his best to make me comfortable. He allowed me to used all amenities. Very close to bus lines to the city centre and walking distance to the vfs Schengen visa centre. A chocolate and a book were left to welcome me. Unfortunately, the double room which I booked was being used by another nice home mate. I suggest Leslie modify the room availability on the website. The single room can even be better if windows are left open for fresh air and air refreshner used to make room smell better.
Overall, Leslie is a very friendly and kind host.October 2024
Leslie is a wonderful person and a kind host who enhances the experience of staying in this simple apartment located in a quiet area. Nearby, there is an original structure: a former church transformed into a climbing center, perfect for sports enthusiasts. Additionally, the bus stop just a few steps from the apartment makes it easy to reach the city center. Thank you, Leslie!

I was happy living with the kind host, but if you thought this was a cheap room, you were mistaken. You'll get a room that's below the standard for the price. Although it's listed as a single room, you'll have to share it with someone else. Except for one, all the photos are misleading—don’t be fooled. There are also various restrictions, and you will need the host's approval for many things.

We were unable to stay in the house because it is very old, with outdated furniture that requires cleaning and refurbishment, especially the mattresses, which is crucial for people with pollen and dust mite allergies. As for the owner, when we pointed out the issues, we called him to inform him of our intention to leave. I kept messaging him on WhatsApp, but he didn't respond at all.

Mr. Leslie is a wonderful person, we got along really well and he answered all my questions about the city with respect. My time at his house was comfortable and really enjoyable.
The house location is great, it is removed from all the usual city noise, in a clean, safe and good neighbourhood, but still close to the city centre and university campus within a short walk (~30 minutes).
I was given space to store my food and I was able to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner.
As a newcomer to Manchester I was able to feel at home while hosted by Mr. Leslie. I wholly recommend this homestay.

Leslie was very nice and helpful. I had a great stay. I was allowed to use the kitchen to prepare my breakfast, lunch and dinner. The district was very quiet and the house was pretty. Location is near bus stops and I needed 30 minutes walk to the city center.

This guest awarded the host 5 hearts but didn’t leave any comments.

Very affordable and convenient option. You can easily walk to the city centre within 30 minutes, and the Wi-Fi is very fast. I highly recommend staying here especially if you are on a budget.
