I had such a lovely stay with Marie Claude! We got along really easily, it was lovely to have friendly chats and open up and I was often invited out to activities and meet ups. A very inspiring person to be around! She was also very attentive to anything that I'd need.
The room is so cosy, with a beautiful view of the canal and really ideal having an ensuite. The rest of the house is also stunning, thoughtfully decorated and super easy access to the centre, bus stops and tram stop.
Ciao for now

Marie was the most wonderful host with a beautiful home. I will for sure come back again if ever I’m in Manchester. It’s always warm and cosy during the winter with a great kitchen to cook in.
It’s about an 8 min walk to the hope mill theatre. I highly recommend it!
