“Manchester is Open”

Overall
Refreshingly, the sentiment about Manchester contrasts that elsewhere in the country. People are welcome here. You need only journey alongside the weaving canals to believe it. You'll pass the Gay Village - a hub for LGBTQ+ activism and refuge for any of this orientation (also a great night out). You'll see restaurants offering every global cuisine, peopled by humans of corresponding - and vastly differing - nationalities. Venture beyond, follow the main road and you'll reach the curry mile: a conglomerate of Arabic, Indian and Eastern European shops and restaurants; dive in to one, and you'll feel as if in a glorious multicultural bubble outside of all time and space.

Personal comments
The location was good, the accomodation was so close to University.
It was in a green park and this was what I liked more. It was an extremely simple accomodation, rooms were really small, but, at the same time, there were all the facilities.

If you would like to travel around the country, have a look at Megabus or NationalExpress (both low budget transportation companies), that will get you to many places for a couple of Pounds! Be aware though, that delays are a common thing in England and be prepared for it! If info needed, please contact me with a specific question ;) You'll have a great time!
