We stayed at Salford Quays apartments for the Juventus friendly. We were a bit unsure about using serviced apartments but were pleasantly surprised. The apartment was massive and there was milk fruit etc ready for us when we checked in. The views of Old Trafford made our tirp (perfect for United fans) and the location is good. We went to the imperial war museum and used the metorlink to go to Manchester. This took about 15 minutes and was great despite the rain!
