I am certainly recommending your accommodation to the University, hopefully some more will come through there and I have a few colleagues at home who come to Manchester for longer stays too, so I will pass it to them too.
Definitely better for visiting academics than other places I have stayed in Manchester – including more expensive serviced apartments

We found the flat clean and tidy when we came - the facilities are fine.
We were very appreciative of your quick responses to any questions - thanks for that….
Overall we had a great stay and are sure to recommend the flat to any friends looking for short term rentals in Manchester.

Hi Evadne
Yes sadly I'll need to move out next Sunday. I've got a transfer to Bristol for a couple of months.
Hopefully I'll be back in Manchester nearer the end of the year so I'll be back in contact then.

The flat was very well presented, tidy and clean and ideally located for all our needs.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay at the flat in Lockes Yard. It was cozy and is in a convenient location in Manchester. We will not hesitate to stay there again whenever we would need a place in Manchester city center. The owners were also very caring and gave us prompt attention when we did not know how to make the heater function. It was comforting to know that we were not left to be on our own all the duration of our sojourn... Angela F. Director Lakecrest properties Ltd. Rome, Italy
After struggling to find a furnished apartment in Manchester city centre for a 3 month period, I found the flat just great and very high standard accommodation. Everything is in good condition and it's a home from home. Moreover the apartment has got everything you need for a short stay. The location is fantastic, 5 minutes walk from the centre of Manchester and 10-15 minutes from the University. It's in a gated complex called Mackintosh Village and as a lone female I always felt safe in the flat, and indeed in the surrounding area. With respect to the landlady, she's very responsive and tries to solve problems quickly she is very friendly and helpful. I have no hesitation in recommending the flat to others.

My stay at Lockes yard was nothing but pleasurable. Any queries we had were dealt with professionally and efficiently. The flat had everything we needed and was furnished to a really high standard, even the cushions were luxurious! I will be contacting them again if I require a great standard, affordable accommodation for me and my girlfriend...they helped bring two people different worlds closer together.

I enjoyed staying in Lockes Yard. The flat had a good layout with an open plan and a nice spacious bathroom, and was well equipped (washer/dryer, dishwasher, fridge with freezer, etc). The flat seemed quite new and everything worked well. The location was great as I was in walking distance of the University, the city centre and most Manchester attractions, and just two blocks away from the Oxford Road rail station. It was very easy to get in touch with the landlady, emails were usually replied within a couple of hours. During my tenancy I had a pretty long and serious problem with the Internet company, and the landlady spent a lot of time and effort trying to resolve things, which I appreciated.PS - working in the School of Mathematics, University of Manchester.
I think that the flat was excellent and the building proved to be very safe. I cannot recommend it enough to visitors. Malak R. - visiting academic from Egypt
Anyway, thank you again for letting us stay in your lovely flat. CA - working at the Palace Theatre
