Short stays near Gatwick and in Old Trafford
Stays looked after like our own.
Because they are.
Two properties. Both mine. Furnished, listed, priced and looked after by the person whose name is on the company — not by a rota of people who have never seen the place.
Booking direct means you skip the platform's guest service fee. Same house, same beds, same clean.
Our stays
Two homes. One standard.
One near Gatwick, one by Old Trafford. Both furnished and photographed properly, cleaned professionally between every stay, and priced against what the market is actually doing that week.
What guests say
13 reviews. 9.3 out of 10.
Across Airbnb and Booking.com. Small numbers, but they are real numbers, and we would rather show you thirteen honest ones than claim a figure we cannot evidence.
The thing guests mention without being asked, more than anything else, is the beds and the bedding. After that: how quickly a message gets answered, the blackout curtains, and how easy it is to let yourself in at two in the morning after a delayed flight.
Book direct
Same stay, without the platform fee.
Airbnb and Booking.com add a service fee to your booking. Book here and you don't pay it. Everything else is identical, because it's the same house and the same host either way.
Why owner-run matters
Nobody cares for a home like the person whose name is on it.
I own what I run
Every process, every cleaner and every price has been tested on my own properties, with my own money, before it goes anywhere near anyone else's.

Communication is the one category rated a straight 5.00 across every Airbnb review. That isn't an accident and it isn't a call centre.
Priced against the market, daily
Rates move with demand, events and the season rather than sitting where someone set them in March. Guests get a fair price; the property doesn't sit empty for the wrong reasons.

About
Hi, I'm Andy.
I furnished both of these places, wrote the listings, set the pricing and met the first guests myself. They're still mine, which is the whole reason they're looked after the way they are.
If something isn't right during your stay, you're messaging the person who chose the mattress. That tends to get things fixed quickly.
