Staying with Chris has been one of my top experiences in being away from home and on tour. The apartment is in such a great location for a great price, and it's nice and modern. I recommend 10/10, I will definitely be staying there in the near future.

Chris was super friendly and had some lovely chats. The location is great and it was a plus being round the corner from a Pure gym and Aldi! Comfortable bed and super clean!

Thank you for your lovely review Hannah and your even better company. You would always be welcome back to stay if you’re ever back in Manchester x
The perfect Digs! 10 minute walk to the theatre, a Pure Gym and an Aldi round the corner and the most comfortable bed ever! Lovely clean flat with own bathroom! Had such a great stay while I was at the Palace Theatre! Thank you so much, Chris! Really appreciate everything. Will come again for sure.

Great central location — everything you need right in walking distance to the city centre.
Room was cold, and using the heater kept blowing the fuse, which knocked out the lights and WiFi. I had to reset the fuse box multiple times just to get some service/heat. The host was relaxed about it at first, but less so once the fuse stopped working.
Anyway, Excellent location, cool host and cat but the heating and electrics need sorting.
Thanks!

Chris has a perfect set up for any touring performer. Excellent communication, ideal central location. His place is clean, tidy and had thoughtful touches to ensure a comfortable stay, including a lovely basket of toiletries in the bathroom. I was either at the theatre or sleeping most of the time but Chris was a friendly and relaxed host, would happily stay again!

We had an amazing time here at Chris’. The flat is very clean and well decorated, really close to the centre and the theatre plus you get cuddles from Bill the cat. I recommend this place x

Thanks a ton for the lovely review. You were both a pleasure to host and Bill is still waiting by the door for more fuss. I am glad the flat and location worked perfectly for your trip. You are welcome back any time.
Chris is a decent host and the flat is wonderfully central in Manchester. We saw each other less as the stay went on but I was grateful for the welcome and conversation we did have. The flat may need some tweaking: doors that slam and lights that dim of their own accord. But other than that, it is sleek and new. The cat is also lovely but just don't touch his paws. Thanks and thanks :)

This was my first time using Theatre Digs, and it was an amazing stay ! The room was so clean, great facilities and such a brilliant location. Chris is so lovely and had some great chats, and if he was out at work I had Bill to keep me company ! I would 100% recommend booking with him and if I work in Manchester again I would defiantly stay again 🥰
13th Oct 2025
I had a wonderful wonderful 7 weeks in Chris’ apartment. A lovely cosy, homely and modern vibe to the flat meant for a great stay. Communication with Chris was speedy and the apartment is in a wonderful spot of the northern quarter. Without a doubt I would stay here again. Thanks Chris

I had a great time in Manchester. Chris is very nice and easy to live with. The apartment is located in one of the best parts of the city. Easy to get to the Palace/Opera to and loads of nice places to go for coffee/food around. The balcony is a great sun spot in the morning and I’d definitely stay again
20th May 2025
Lovely host with a very sweet cat! Though I didn't see much of Chris because of his work hours. Easy walk to the Palace and Piccadilly station, and there are a lot of good pubs and cafes nearby. The flat is very stylish and has a lovely balcony.
8th Apr 2025
Gorgeous flat. Lovely and clean with all you could need. Great location and would stay again.
10th Mar 2025
Had a lovely stay with Chris whilst at the Palace Theatre. Comfy bed, private bathroom with good shower directly opposite the room, and a lovely cat too! Approx. 15 mins to walk to the Palace and under 10 to the station. Would gladly stay again, thanks!
24th Feb 2025
Great stay at Chris’ apartment in Manchester. Really easy to get to from the station, only a 15 minute walk to the Palace Theatre and right near lots of good food and shops. Chris was an amazing host, made me feel really at home, lovely flat and was great meeting Bill the Cat. Would recommend and will stay again, thanks Chris! X

18th Jan 2025
Thank you 🫶🏻
Had the BEST time staying with Chris in his lovely flat. Spotlessly clean and comfy bed. The area is fabulous as it's right in town so the Northern Quarter and Ancoats are right there. 15 min walk to the Palace. Loved my stay here and can't wait to return. Thanks Chris!!
13th Jan 2025
Chris' apartment is really nice and perfectly situated for, well, everything in central Manchester really. The room is a good size, with wardrobe and little desk also. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom is a family sized one for exclusive use. Parking is available nearby in Baird Street (RCP Car Park) for only £25 for 7 days. I would have zero hesitation in contacting Chris if/when visiting again.

There is so much i can say! But hands down an amazing stay! Chris and Bill (the very lovely cat) we’re so good to me! If ever i’m in Manchester i’ll head straight here! Thank you Chris xxx

Wouldn’t even consider anywhere else when staying in Manchester - Chris is a superstar and his flat is gorgeous! Perfect distance to the Palace and Opera House. So many restaurants, shops and bars on your doorstep as well as Supermarkets and Gyms.
Thanks again Chris!!
8th Oct 2024
I had a lovely stay here! Lovely bedroom and bathroom, easy walk to the theatre and I felt very safe staying here with Chris. We didn’t see eachother much due to clashing timetables but when we did meet, he was so friendly and accommodating, it felt like I was just staying with a mate!

Chris is such a lovely host. Really accommodating and excellent with communication. Space is also lovely with great accessibility to gym and food shopping. Would defo stay again.
13th Feb 2024
Literally cannot sing Chris’ praises enough. Spent 5 weeks here over Christmas and would do it all over again. Both bedroom and private bathroom are wonderful and clean. Location is perfect, a stones throw away from the centre, but still great transport links to Lowry. Chris was so so accommodating and helpful. Thank you for having me! :) xx
