Flat 1 was clean and the kitchen had everything you needed. There were four adults staying and our issue was with seating. If you were all in the Living Room/Kitchen there was a sofa and two stools. You could not all sit around the breakfast bar for food or all sit comfortably watching tv. Not too big a problem if just a base while you're out and about. The shower control possibly needs looking at, and the shower screen seal as water seemed to cover the floor. Bedrooms were spacious and beds comfortable, there was an iron mark on one of the carpets. The flat was a 10min walk to the train station where you can get to Manchester City Centre in 10mins. There were a couple of pubs, takeaway and a cafe across the road for convenience. We would stay again.

Smart, stylish and well equipped flat. Very clean with comfy beds and had everything we needed. Great location for local bars and shops ('feed' cafe opposite was excellent for breakfast) as well as train or bus to both Stockport and Manchester. Highly recommended - would definitely stay there again.

Flat is exceptional - access was a problem
First off: the flat itself is cozy, immaculate, well designed, nicely furnished with a useful kitchen, located near handy things like a good breakfast place & bars. The place itself was great but arrival & departure were awkward. We had some trouble getting into the flat with the keyless lock system - which at 11:30pm was pretty frustrating, esp. when we’d let them know we were arriving quite late. The flat manager was unreachable till morning (phone switched off) & we got in only because the person staying in the second flat heard us trying to get in & tried her own code (which only happened to work because she was staying up in ours later that week, so the code had defaulted to hers?....) Yeah. Awkward. The keyless entry is great for flexible arrivals so no one needs more be there to meet you - but if there’s a technical hitch (in this case the manual override didn’t work & it deemed us as no shows), there needs to be a way to address this. On departure: 10am is far earlier than usual for non-hotel properties; the cleaning staff let themselves in at 10:10 when we were still finishing packing. Seemed preeettty unrealistic for cleaning to start so close to check-out time. If they can nail the check-in and relax about departure, this is one of the classiest, best-kept places I’ve ever stayed.

Hi Emily, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I’m glad you liked the apartment. Ultimately your complaints stem from arriving after our advertised check-in time and leaving after our advertised check-out time. We’ll certainly look into the issue on your arrival day but your review feels a little unfair given you seem to have enjoyed your stay. Our arrival/departure times are made clear prior to booking and we try to be as flexible as possible with these when we receive requests.
