LEEDS - LIVING AND WORKING

[Pothole]

Evening all. I'm looking for some advice and info for a friend. He's had the offer of a job in Leeds and is doing some general feasibility research, mainly consisting of asking me on Facebook if I know anything about the place!

It seems the job will be in the city centre. He's really trying to find out which are decent areas to live, where to avoid, what he should be paying in rent (2 bed apartment, decent finish, reasonable public transport etc. Are there smaller towns and/or villages on the outskirts which are nicer/cheaper/both?

Any and all info gratefully taken on board.

THANKS!!!
