I was given less than 2 hours notice that I wouldn't be staying at the Bird Song Guest House Old Trafford due to an issue with a current tenant who was having housing difficulties and that I would be staying at a property called Green View Guest House. When confirmation of the new property came through, I was only given the street and not the number so had to go online to try and establish which property it was. When we arrived at the property, all 3 of the fire alarms are still covered with their fire alarm caps, meaning the host is endangering lives as these wouldn't detect a fire should there be one. There is a major leak in the kitchen which has 2 buckets under it. The bin in the kitchen is filthy and looks like it has been there for many months. I was informed the heating wasn't on and should I wish to put it on, I would need to go down into the cellar. I am shocking booking.com are working with a host and property such as this. The photo's below are of Green View Guest House and not Bird Song Guest House.

Location was 15 mins walk from Old Trafford cricket ground

There was a TV in the house but no aerial connection

Close to city centre good neighbourhood

Nothing really, it exactly was written on the description, and good vaule for money 💰

House was located in a quiet neighbourhood

House did not have a kitchen table with chairs. we had to use a small coffee table. Kitchen utensils were dirty and old. We had to go and purchase new glasses, tea towels and kitchen cleaning products for our stay. There was no separate living room available. Kitchen area was also the living area. kitchen seating area was very uncomfortable All mattresses were very old and you could feel the springs when sleeping. No additional blankets were available Towels were very old and dated. We ended up having to buy our own.

The host, Maureen was very helpful. Location was superb because we were there to watch soccer match at Old Trafford Stadium. Took us 20 minutes walk to the stadium. As per name given, we really can hear birds chipping every morning. Easy to get food as there are a lot of restaurants in the surrounding area. Will recommend this property to those who plan a trip to Old Trafford.

Since Manchester is so wet during winter, to have a dryer after washing the clothes would be much appreciated.
