Cheetham's choice
Your Cheetham digs are just five minutes away from Manchester Arena and the city centre. We're right next to the coolest neighbourhood in Manchester, Ancoats, which offers a wide selection of independent food and drink outlets.
Caffeine fiends will love Just Between Friends, The Koffee Pot and Foundation Coffee House. For a munch, head to Home Sweet Home, Yard and Coop and Northern Soul (do NOT miss the grilled cheese).
Of course, no Mancunian bio is complete without a Smiths reference. Down the road is Manchester's notorious Strangeways Prison, which the Smith's took their 1987 album title from.
