This entire property rental is perfect for a family holiday or a group of friends that wants to explore the heart of Northern Quarter, one of the things Manchester is famous for.

Sleeping arrangements include one double bedroom with rain-shower ensuite, another double bedroom and then a double-sized sofa bed, so in total the property can comfortably fit up to six guests.
Moving into the bright lounge, where the sofa bed is set, you’ll probably first notice the luxurious leather armchair and flatscreen television that comes with Netflix and LoveFilm. The kitchen is of ample size and well-equipped with a small dining bench.
It is worth noting that wifi is available throughout the property but that it must be requested, so we would recommend mentioning this to the hosts at the point of booking. There is free parking available on the weekends, but it is worth checking ahead, otherwise, the nearby Dale Street carpark can be utilized for £12 a day (24 hours).

19. Stylish loft apartment
We fell a little bit in love with the stylish and modern yet warming decor of this property; the pinewood colored furnishings perfectly match the range of greenery inside making this a relaxing spot for your vacation.
The building was originally a 19th-century warehouse but was converted in the late 1990’s and then has also received a further refurbish. Everyone involved has done their best to keep a number of original features from the double-height ceilings to the exposed oak beams and iron pillars throughout the property.
This one bedroom rental is perfect for couples who want a stylish central location with plenty of space and charm. Nestled into the core of Manchester City Centre between Chinatown and Canal Street means that you can enjoy plenty of romantic date nights in the local bars, restaurants and entertainment facilities.

Each rental is for a private double-bedroom in this warehouse, so be sure to contact the host before booking to ensure that the rental meets your requirements. We love the workstation in each room, this warehouse space really does get your creativity flowing.

Finally on our list, something a bit different, this time offering a long-term vacation rental.

I’m sure we could be tempted to a glass of wine on the balcony in the evening. There is parking on site but it is not free for guests, a small charge applies.

25. Warehouse conversion
This luxurious and unique spacious warehouse conversion is in the heart of the hustle and bustle of Manchester City Centre. The property is the home of the hosts but they have prepared a beautifully decorated king-sized bedroom which feels like a boutique hotel.
We love a few features about this property; first, the time and effort that the owners have put in, from the art-deco style tiling to the large artwork throughout the property. Secondly, the view, which takes in the canal and surrounding areas.
You’ll also have access to the comfortable shared kitchen, bathroom and lounge area where a light breakfast is prepared for you each morning. Due to the excellent location, all of the main tourist attractions are within walking distance, whilst the airport is just 17 minutes away.

The beating heart of Manchester
Any of these locations will mean that you are literally in the beating heart of Manchester’s city center. Manchester is a vibrant city with various cocktail bars. Everything you could need is at your doorstep and these properties are all fantastic, making this the ideal formula for a perfect holiday. We’d recommend visiting the John Rylands Library, one of the world’s finest collections of rare books. If you’re a football fan then you can’t miss the Old Trafford stadium, or perhaps you like theatre and the arts in which case we’d recommend The Lowry Theatre and then stroll along to the Whitworth Art Gallery for some fine art viewing. Sounds perfect! If you want other options to stay and have a great time, there are also party houses to rent in Manchester.
