About Manchester
Castlefield is where Manchester began — the world's first industrial canal basin, now a conservation area of restored warehouses and Victorian viaducts. Our apartment sits on the Bridgewater Canal with a Juliet balcony over the water, about four minutes' walk from Cornbrook tram and twelve from Deansgate.
Why Choose Manchester?
Choose Manchester for genuine connectivity: Cornbrook tram is four minutes away with direct lines to MediaCityUK, Old Trafford, the Etihad and the airport, London Euston is 2 hours 10 by train, and Spinningfields, Manchester Central and Deansgate are all walkable. Our apartment offers a dedicated desk, fast WiFi, lift access, on-site concierge and a quiet fifth-floor position — with weekly and monthly rates for longer contracts.
