Right in the heart of Manchester, this penthouse apartment packs a punch. Our favourite feature is the wrap-around balcony with dreamy city views – just the spot for cocktails as the sun goes down. Inside, the design is utterly contemporary. There's plenty of room to stretch out in the large living space, while the kitchen is complete with all the essentials to rustle up a meal. Location-wise, step outside and you'll find Market Street's many shops and an array of restaurants. A tram stop is also a short walk away, ready to whisk you across the city.

Home truths:
*Your host operates several apartments here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
*If you’re travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot upon request.
*There isn’t air conditioning here, but there are portable fans.
*Given the central location overlooking Market Street, expect to hear some noise throughout your stay.
