Sitting on the fourth floor in Ancoats, this apartment comes with a balcony that looks out across the Manchester skyline – a decent spot for morning coffee or an evening drink before heading out. The Northern Quarter's indie bars and street art are eleven minutes on foot, Cutting Room Square's alfresco dining scene just six, and Piccadilly Gardens a fourteen-minute walk. Shops and restaurants sit directly below the building, and free secure parking is included – a bonus in the city centre. Inside, two bedrooms and a well-considered layout make this an easy base for groups and longer stays alike.

Home truths

The apartment is on the fourth floor and the building has a lift, so getting in and out with luggage is straightforward.
Self-check-in is available here. You'll either pick up the keys at a nearby property or use a lockbox on the premises. Your host will confirm instructions before your arrival.
Starter toiletries are provided. However, you will need to stock up on other essentials such as coffee and tea, as these are not included.
