Location, comfy beds, modern apartment, communication with owner when I had trouble with uploading documents. Information prior to arrival and access to property.

Fridge and shower tray could do with a good clean.

"Lovely Stay in Cardiff"

10.0

Well decorated & modern and had all that we needed. Communication excellent.

Coffe/sugar bowls are a nice touch but consider sachets to improve presentation.

"Absolutely perfect for our family visit - so much more comfortable (a great lounge, dining and kitchen area for relaxati"

10.0

Both attractive and comfortable accommodation. Everything worked well and we had everything we needed. Great hosts too! We loved staying in Pontcanna.

Everything was perfect for our stay. Probably a separate toilet or shower room would have been ideal given there were four of us, but it wasn’t really an issue and the bathroom was very comfortable nevertheless.

Location is excellent , parking available locally for free. Beautifully equipped home with everything we needed for our stay.

"Disappointed"

6.0

The living room/ kitchen area was lovely.

The cleanliness on arrival was honestly disappointing. There was dust on the surfaces, there was a used wet coffee pod in the coffee machine, it hadn’t been cleaned since the previous guests, the whole place could have done with a really good wipe down and thorough clean. There was also no tea towel to wipe down surfaces we had to buy some. The place has huge potential, if the cleanliness was better. We also had no heating or hot water on arrival and couldn’t have a shower until the next day, with two small kids staying our first night was extremely cold, and not relaxing. We also received a noise complaint from the hosts, which was upsetting. The two children were playing from 5-7pm before bed and we were asked to keep the noise down, honestly why allow children to stay when we couldn’t relax after this.

"Quiet apartment in a nice area."

8.0

Pleasant apartment in a quiet location, an easy walk into Cardiff centre.

Great for a couple, or for 3 people but not big enough for 5. One of the double bed rooms is very small with the one side of the bed pushed up hard against a wall, so nowhere to put glasses, book etc. We couldn't find any guides for the kitchen equipment and struggled to get the hob to work, plus there was an isolator switch, situated high up in a cupboard that we had to hunt for, to get the microwave to work. There were dirty towels (unwashed)in the washing machine on arrival, which wasn't very nice and we were charged £25 for 2 nights for the use of a travel cot, against the published rate of £10 per night - seems unnecessarily greedy charging for a cot in first place, to be honest but it saved filling the car with ours. However, it is fundamentally a pleasant apartment in a nice, safe location, for a reasonable price.

"Perfect stay, fabulous apartment, everything you need, highly recommend!"

10.0

The property was just perfect for what we wanted! Pontcanna is a great area to stay when visiting Cardiff City Centre, a short stroll across Bute park to the castle and access to the City’s many bars, restaurants and shops! Or on the way back a £4.66 uber ride! Pontcanna has some great bars and restaurants too as well as coop nearby to grab any essentials! The property was warm, comfortable and had everything we needed in a prime location! It was a half term visit to see our son who is at Uni so perfect as he had lived just around the corner the previous year! The communication from the property was thorough and excellent with everything we needed! Clear and concise! We visited several places while staying and also highly recommend Gaucho restaurant, not cheap but definitely worth it and before you think I’m not a steak a lover I had the vegan option (only because I’m fussy not a vegan!) and it was superb and my boys all loved their steaks! Soooo tasty and fab setting with great service!

The only thing I would add if you book it states parking not available however this isn’t quite true as there is limited street parking which during our visit was plentiful! So nothing we didn’t like! The parking on Ryder St is permit only but just around the corner is a free for all and there are often spaces available if you struggle first time drive around the block! We have never had a problem and it’s free!
