Question Housing in Preston, Lancs

A friend of mine of mine may be looking for somewhere to rent in the Preston area. Most likely a room in a house type of thing. Does anyone have any recommendations of areas within the city to look at or even have accomodation they rent out?

Cheers
Ian

Fulwood, Penwortham, Ashton, The Docks.... plenty of choice

I lived in Penwortham and spent time near Bamber Bridge - very pleasant places to be, although I left there in 1972 so it may have changed!

Mater - Deepdales a good place to be!
