Hansen Court - Stylish Bay Apartment with Parking and River Views

Wonderful location, overlooking the river Taff within easy walking access of groceries, harbour and restaurants, as well as shops, train stations and the Stadium. The flat is clean, well appointed and is in a quiet complex with secure parking. We enjoyed coming back from a sunset stroll to watch Netflix on our first night, and again after a long morning in town, had a nice nap before taking the aquabus up to the Castle for an evening concert. Safe area to walk at night and for an easy longer stroll to Mermaid Quay, we recommend going through the fabulous city wetlands reserve via Hamadryad Park, or just nip down side streets (watch for construction removal of pavements) for quick access to the Sennedd and more. Our host provided excellent instructions and updates along the way; we had no issues collecting keys, accessing the complex or checking out.

Very minor point: the flat would benefit from a cafetiere or coffee machine. Instant options were found in a cupboard -- would have made the property truly 5star for comfort and facilities to start the day with real coffee (we always have our own grounds but haven't needed to travel with press for years so forgot to pack it). Not a reflection on the hosts or affecting the property: there is ongoing gentrification of the neighbourhood, which has led to loss of one carpark by Mermaid Quay (this ruined our breakfast plans after 10am check out because it is still shown as active on maps) and closure of sections of non-road walking routes, including part of the riverside trail (be prepared for roadworks and detours if walking from train stations).

We had problems with parking from the first minute we arrived.We didn't get visitors parking permit.Even if we had received it, all the visitors parking spaces were occupied during our entire stay. When we started cooking dinner, we found a black curly hair among the spoons and fork.Its terrible and disgusting. We found underwear in the washing machine. Apartment cleaning superficial with a lot of dust.Its looks about cleaning no body care. The carpet has many dirty spots. The floor tiles in the bathroom are moving. One of them is cracked. My girlfriend works in the cleaning service field.Her assessment of this apartment cleaning -1 minus one.

Everything

Nothing

Very clean and tidy, as described and impressively well equipped apartment.

Some marks on the carpets but honestly thats being picky.

Clean, comfortable, and well equipped apartment, with river view

Had to use visitor parking spaces rather than designated parking as advertised. Single key which was needed for entry to the compound and building was inconvenient when we did separate activities.

Spacious, quiet and comfortable apartment with everything you need. Apartment is in a great location with parking. Easy walk into city centre. Host was quick to reply with any questions- would recommend.

View of the river Taff.

Having Mike hang up the phone when I complained about the apartment. He should not have put us in there knowing there were problems. The shower leaked badly, the washing machine did not work at all & the standard of the furnishing was dreadful - badly stained rug & carpets & needed complete redecoration. Very below standard expected on booking.com & when I return to Australia will follow up with complaint to them.
