Professional - short term rent

I am relocating from Derby to Manchester. I’m a secondary school teacher starting a new role in September.

I’m currently a homeowner but I’m in the process of selling. I am not looking to buy straight away so I want to rent a room whilst the sale is going through and I find my feet. This could be from 4 months to a year.

I’m a sociable person at the weekend, but prefer quieter nights mid-week as I have to bring work home with me some evenings.

I do have a car and I would prefer to bring it with me but I know this is unlikely in the centre.
