Pros:

Great place to stay near the stadium. It was easy to check in. The appartment was clean and came with everything I needed. There is a busy pub accross the street but I didn't have any issues with noise. The bed was comfortable. I would stay here again.

Pros:

Clean and spacious, very comfortable bed. Note the sofa is nice but not very comfortable to sleep on when unfolded. You should ask for a foldable thing mattress to have an extra layer. Kitchen has all the necessities, towels and toiletries in the bathroom are beautiful, and location of the apartment perfect. We’ll gladly return.

Pros:

Huge apartment I was very impressed more than enough space. I was extremely tired and jet-lagged. And thankfully, the gentleman working at the property brought my bag up for me and let me in a little bit early so I could sleep! Parking is just behind the building on site, which was so convenient and. I would absolutely stay here again

Excellent apartment in an ideal location
Pros:

Great apartment, well equipped, spacious and comfortable. Very clean with lovely toiletries and plenty of washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets and washing machine tablets provided.

Property manager was slow to reply when I asked about parking my colleague's motorcycle, but very helpful when he did respond.

Lovely peaceful location on the northern edge of the city centre but an easy walk. 20 mins walk from the train station, 10-15 to the top end of town. A 5-10 min walk the other way takes you to the shops and restaurants in the heart of Pontcanna, and there are other pubs and restaurants even closer to hand. Sophia Gardens and Bute Park are right on the door step and Cardiff Castle is a 5 min walk.

All in all, a perfect base for a city break in Cardiff, or for a work stay

Great location. A 15 minute walk to the Castle and a little longer to the train station.
Great value for the price.

Pros:

Prior to arrival, the communication from the property manager was excellent and meeting her in person was a welcome greeting. We were offered a different bigger apartment ( we were called upon arrival) and the following night I moved into the one I booked originally. Both apartments were super lovely and clean, bedrooms and living rooms were spacious and the decor seemed new and perfectly kept up. Kitchen was nicely accessoried. Toiletries were gorgeous. Bedrooms have black oit blinds and beds really comfortable
Nice touch were double pillows on each side and fresh milk in the fridge. There is a private parking at the back for a modest extra £10. Centre and Uni are walking distance. Would certainly recommend the chain and hope to go back soon. Thank you for a very easy stay.

Pros:

There was construction going on while we stayed that forced us to walk through a tight area of scaffolding with luggage (temporary, I'm sure). Otherwise, we really enjoyed the stay. It was much better than staying in a hotel. Only complaint is all of the doors swung closed and wouldn't stay open! Not at all a deal breaker...I would stay there again.
