Great Central Location - City Centre with on site gym, pool and garden (Manchester)

Simon is a brilliant host, and his digs match! Perfect location,cosy and warm ,and amazing facilities like the pool and sauna which I used pretty much daily. Simon is very chill and gives you all the space you need, and I would definitely stay again :)

27th Apr 2026

Simon’s digs are very centrally located and ideal for anyone working at the Palace or the Opera house. His home feels very warm and welcoming, and Simon was always there for any queries, questions or support I needed during my stay. The apartment complex has very good security. The addition of the pool, gym and sauna was a lovely plus! Secure underground parking was available during my stay too, which put my mind at ease! I would urge anyone to book in with Simon if you’re heading to Manchester!

Amazing host and an absolute prime location. I wish I could stay few more days

Simon was a fantastic host. His flat is beautiful and comfortable, very convenient location. All I could have asked for really. Was a real treat staying with him. The added leisure facilities were a real bonus.

24th Jan 2025

I had an excellent stay at Simons. Could not get more ideal for working at the Palace!

2nd Dec 2024

I consider myself very lucky to have found this place on this site. Simon is a lovely guy and always happy to help. I got great use out of the private gym, pool, and sauna. The flat itself is cosy and I slept well, even though it is in the centre of the city and a short walk to the nearest tram stop if needed.

18th Nov 2024

So lovely to be able to stay with Simon again! His flat is just so cozy and brilliantly located. The room is really comfortable - I sleep so well there :-) The best digs ever! Thanks Simon - see you next time I hope x

Simon was a fab host, super friendly and accomodating. A lovely cosy room in the perfect location. Would absolutely stay with Simon again. Thank you very much.

12th Oct 2024

Had a wonderful two-week stay in Simon's centrally located, cosy flat. Simon is an excellent host and made me feel at ease and comfortable from the get go. It is easy to get to the Lowry via bus or tram from St Peter’s Square, and there is lots to explore in the area via foot. Simon was also great with answering any questions I had about the city. The pool and gym are a bonus! Would 100% stay again. Thanks Simon :)

7th Oct 2024

Excellent location, great host, who’s up for a chat or leave u be, see u again Simon, 5/5 would recommend, thanks!
(Need to jump in the pool next time)

16th Sep 2024

Great room, Simon is lovely, proximity to the theatre was perfect, great digs, would definitely recommend!

3rd Aug 2024

I had such a great stay with Simon. The location is excellent! 5 min walk from Piccadilly station, 5 minute walk from the Palace and just 15 from the Opera House this was incredible. Digs were clean, room was tidy and Simon was a great host. You are in the town centre so you can occasionally hear street noise if you noise sensitive but didn’t bother me at all. The gym, pool, and sauna made this stay so worth it. Would 💯 stay again!

10th Jul 2024

The use of the pool alone makes it worth it but on top of that Simon is a wonderful host, the digs is in a great location and the room is cosy. 10000% would stay again!

16th Apr 2024

Spectacular digs, Simon is so helpful and welcoming, the location for the Palace is amazing and it's only a smidge further to the Opera House, close to the center of town, the trams, everything you could need, lovely clean room, in a building that feels very safe. Would highly recommend

1st Apr 2024

Cannot recommend Simon’s digs highly enough. Fantastic location. Perfect host. Thanks Simon!

26th Feb 2024

A great host with a cosy room so close to the Palace and parking, what a find! Not a long walk for my show at the Opera House either!

29th Oct 2023

Second stay and again can't fault Simon or the flat. It's ideally placed in the city with easy access to venues, shops and transport hubs. The room is comfortable and well kitted out for a stress free stay, located in a secure apartment building located in Gay Village. Although I didn't use the gym or pool during my stay these are definitely a bonus for anyone visiting, along with the convenient location. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay here. Thanks again Simon!

1st Oct 2023

Simon is the absolute perfect host. The room is just what you need, and located 5 mins walk from the Palace. I could not recommend these digs more, and the fact that multiple cast members said to me they had tried to book it as well is testament to that. The gym and pool are a huge bonus

26th Sep 2023

Can't fault Simon or the room. He is very friendly and accommodating, with great communication and easy to follow instructions/directions. The room itself is well equipped with storage and comfortable, with clean towels/linen. The bed is comfortable and the temperature was just right even despite a unseasonable heat wave with outside temps of nearly 30c. The flat itself is brilliantly located just a short walk from Piccadily Station/Metro and Piccadily Gardens metro.
Already booked to return. 👍

11th Sep 2023

Simon is a great host! The flat was lovely, very clean and comfortable to stay.
