The Space:

Soft light filters across whitewashed walls as you step into this Santorini-inspired apartment in Manchester’s Ancoats district. The atmosphere feels connected to the pulse of the city—canal paths are just outside, and the hum of New Islington adds a quiet rhythm to your stay. Inside, the open-plan layout creates an airy retreat where you can unwind, cook, and share time together after exploring the city’s vibrant streets.



Living space

Settle into the inviting living area, where a 55-inch Sky Glass smart TV offers Sky channels and streaming options for relaxed evenings in. A window seat invites you to pause with a cup of tea and take in the tranquil surroundings. When needed, the sofa transforms into a double sofa bed, allowing flexibility for additional guests. Depending on the booked number of guests on your reservation, you may need to contact our customer service team who are on-hand to arrange a sofa bed set-up, where additional charges may apply.



Kitchen & dining

The Santorini-style kitchen is bright and fully equipped, featuring an induction stove, oven, refrigerator, freezer, microwave, and Nespresso coffee maker. You’ll find cooking basics and dining essentials ready for use, with a large dining table that seats six. Whether you’re preparing breakfast before a day in the city or sitting down for dinner with friends, the space blends function and comfort.



Sleeping arrangements

The master bedroom offers a king-size bed and a distinctive circular freestanding bath, a serene feature designed for rest and relaxation. The second bedroom is set on a mezzanine level, accessed by 11 steps, where low ceilings and softly curved beams evoke the feeling of a cozy cave retreat. Please note, that due to the unique architectural design, the second bedroom features low ceilings with a maximum height of 1.6 meters, requiring guests to crouch. Additionally, be mindful of the 1.4-meter maximum height under the beams.



Bathroom

The bathroom is styled with an elegant arched ceiling and a spacious walk-in wet room shower. Fresh towels and bathroom essentials are provided for a comfortable stay.

Guest Access:

Upon booking with us, you will receive access to your personalised Guest Pass. The Guest Pass is powered by Enso Connect – an Airbnb trusted partner. Here you will receive your check-in instructions, Wi-Fi details, local recommendations (& exclusive discounts!) and much more. You will receive a link to your Guest Pass in your booking confirmation message.



In order to protect both the property and you, our valued guest, you must complete either a mandatory deposit authorisation hold of £250 or a £40.00 non-refundable damage waiver (Please note that the Damage Waiver option is not available for bookings placed within 24 hours of check-in). This can be done on a card of your choosing via the Guest Pass. If you select the deposit authorisation hold, no monies are taken from your card unless damages are caused during your stay, or additional fees are incurred. This may be for things such as late check-out, undeclared guests, and/or extra nights. The deposit authorisation hold is usually released with 1 working day of check-out.



Kindly ensure that your Guest Pass verification and deposit authorisation hold or damage waiver, are complete prior to your check-in, as you will not be able to access the apartments until this is complete.



Please do not hesitate to reach out to our customer service team with any questions or concerns regarding your stay.
