Manu’s Place is a unique place to live in Birmingham for few months, or to spend some days while you attend an event in the city. It’s really unique because many of our guests are staying for an average of 1-3 months, and only some of them stay for shorter time filling gaps between long bookings, which brings to the place a very good atmosphere because most of the guests want to interact and sometimes we organise activities together…

So the concept it is something between a Shared Apartment and a Guest House.

Most of our guests are connected with Birmingham for different reasons such a internships (Most of our summer guests but also along the year), language courses (Many guests are coming for that purpose), short term University students, recent move to town (And they live here until they find a long term accommodation), research, Etc…

We have 14 private rooms (1 Quadruple room, 2 Triple one, and 11 Double ones), with 3 bathrooms on each one of the 2 floors, and 2 kitchens and living rooms. Finally we have a private apartment but those guests are also welcome to use the common areas of the shared apartments. Helpers and staff live also at the place and they are a very important piece in the puzzle

A WhatsApp group keeps every long term guest, staff and volunteers connected, and everybody is free to suggest activities although lately we do not organise too many events, just some weekend somebody suggests to go out for dinner or something like this, and of course you do not need to participate if you do not feel like. Many guests are very busy with their professional life and we can promise that it is possible to work and relax in your room without being disturbed at all. That is what our reviews say as well “A good place to meet people but also quite room”…

Note: We have a cat in the house, there is no lift and the rooms are in a first and second floor
