It's the pub of choice for a number of the businesses that reside nearby and also for United games - as its a bit further away from Old Trafford than other bars, it's a little bit quieter on match days. They've got standard lagers and ciders on tap and a spirit and wine collection behind the bar, and ok Beefeater pub food. It also has benches and tables outside which is great for looking over the Quays on nice days. It's nowt special but it's a decent pub to go for a quiet pint

You ever seen that humongous steel and glass behemoth near the Arndale Centre? It's the first thing…read morethat assaults your eyes as soon as you near the city centre, and it's the place where all the footie players and high-end Manchester actors live. No. 1 Deansgate has to be seen to be believed. It was part of the redevelopment that took place following the IRA bombing and cemented Manchester's place in the UK's top urban dwellings. It is as a matter of fact the tallest steel residential structure in the UK and it's mighty expensive. Aptly, it was completed just as I arrived at university and it still overwhelms me every time I see it. It looks slightly more upmarket than that skyline-botherer Beetham Tower too. Gosh darn Hilton. Sixty metres high, fourteen floors tall, it's home to 84 apartments with a total of eight penthouses - four of which sold back in 2002 for a cool £1.5 million each. Nice! If any of us mere mortals were to be able to afford places in here they'd be box rooms and studios. Meh, alright for some. The places are furnished to the highest spec as one would expect, and with a 24 hour concierge this is luxury living and as central as can be.

Number 1 Deansgate is indeed a place fit for kings, and therefore not fit for me. In a…read morefourteenth-century analogy, the people that live here are the equivalent of medieval royalty, knights and squires. I am the equivalent of a smelly vegetable grower wearing a potato sack and covered in grub, probably with a strange disease such as Black Death. It is actually the tallest all-steel residential building in the United Kingdom, and the penthouse suites at the top of the building were at one point the most expensive residences in Manchester. Now a 1 bedroom flat can be acquired for merely the price of a small house elsewhere, at around £200, 000. Looks like I'll have spend quite a few years growing and selling quite a few potatoes, save a few golden sovereigns and then auction them for modern day money (unless Natwest will change them) before I can move in.

It looks like a 5 star hotel from outside and gives tough competition to Hilton as far as the height of the building is concerned (Of course if the rooms were like Hilton then the students living there would have to be billionaires). I have been here so many times, yes I still have tons of friends who are students (Thankfully post grads, no I don't hang out with teenagers and I am not a pedophile). My friends live on the 29th floor and the view is absolutely breadth taking and their flats look nothing like student flats I lived in. The flats are while, with modern furniture, bean bags, central heating and they have a cleaner every week (how I wish I lived here). They are 2 bedroom flats, more like modern apartments but there are also studios available. There is a gym and common room in the ground floor too besides a super fancy lift! The price is not much higher if you compare it to other post grad accommodations in Manchester and the location could not have been better! Seriously its located right in the center of oxford road, near all the pubs and walking distance to the university as well as city center (what more does a student need?) Verdict: Definitely the best student accommodation I have ever seen!

Castlefield Locks are a relatively new development constructed as part of the Castlfield boom a few…read moreyears back. After a large attempt to develop the area it suffered a slight decline, not quite reaching the projected potential. Since then it has developed more gradually and in a healthier manor. Castlefield Locks are one of the nicer blocks, only a 5 minute walk along the canal from Deansgate Station. The complex consists of five floors, and each apartment is spacious and modern. There are some larger, more expensive apartments available, but the standard is a two bedroom flat, for between £650-£750 a week. These are often organized for a couple, with one huge master bedroom and one considerably smaller, but still habitable. The kitchen / lounge area is one, and each as a balcony. Some are small Juliet balconies whereas others have full balconies with tables and chairs. The complex has an underground parking facility, and a 24 hour concierge. Its very safe and well looked after. I'd recommend it to any young couple of pair of friends.

Canal cruises are available for those who want to view the city's historic waterways from the warmth of a luxurious canal barge or if you're more of a land adventurer, a canal-side walk starting at Castlefield will take you right through the city and provide some excellent photo opportunities, if you're into gritty street scenes, dark tunnels, old buildings etc, like me. There are a number of good bars and pubs in the Castlefield area. My favourite so far is The Wharf (I've written a separate review about it) which offers great views of the canal, boats and Beetham Tower if you choose to sit outside. Castlefield has a rural feel to it, which you won't find anywhere else in the city, so if you're in need a break from the hustle and bustle but don't want to venture too far, make your way to this pretty, pleasant corner of Manchester.

A stone's throw from the main shops, it couldn't be more central and boasts a riverside status - although riverside in Manchester is not necessarily a good thing depending on the kind of sludge that could be floating past that day. Still, there's nothing quite like a balcony. Situated just off Blackfriars on the very edge (geddit?) of the Salford/Manchester border, this is all about location and thanks to dwindling numbers of renters, has fast become a serviced aparthotel too. You can stay in an Edge apartment from £100 a night, and it's certainly a great way to explore the city. It's about as convenient as can be with East Z East restaurant sitting right next door as well as the Gentry Grooming Co and a number of pubs, bars and a direct link to central Salford too. As you can see from the pics I've uploaded, the apartments are nothing short of stunning. Still, I don't know if it's just me but places like The Edge feel a little sterile, rather blank and minimalist. Maybe I'm just trying to convince myself but it doesn't have quite enough character for me to think about settling down there.
