Brambles around the lock box

Location to media city, and old Trafford. For events

Not renters fault but one lift broken so had to wait a while for single lift to work

Actual appartment was great, amazing views. Comfy beds, right by the Salford Quays so a brilluant base

Arrival, there was a mix up getting the code for the keysafe - which had just been moved - so resolving that was time consuming and couldn't get hold of anyone initially. Seemed very odd to have to scramble through undergrowth in the car park to find it. All resolved eventually.

We stayed in the apartment for one night and it was a good location for getting to and from a game at Old Trafford, with a pleasant walk along the quay.

Collection of the key from the lockbox in a carpark just seemed really dodgy - luckily it was daytime and I wasn't alone otherwise I would have felt unsafe. The apartment building is inbetween a couple of unfinished blocks and felt a bit desolate. The apartment itself was fine for one night - we just slept there, but it was sparsely furnished eg there were four of us staying and only 3 cups, a couple of bowls, a broken shelf in the kitchen etc. I just found it really expensive for what it was but we had little choice when the date for the Man U game we were attending was changed. We had come from a four star hotel in the centre of Manchester (for almost half the price!) and in hindsight, and if we came again I would have stayed an extra night there and taken the tram to Old Trafford. But having never been to Manchester before we didn't realise how excellent the transport links are. They also wanted £300 damage deposit. I'm baffled by the 'excellent' reviews, I wouldn't recommend the stay at the price we paid (maybe these reviewers had a very low rate?).
