Gabriele was a fantastic host who went out of his way to render assistance when we met with unforseen circumstances during our holiday. He was very prompt to respond to questions we had about the apartment's facilities and professionally followed up to make sure everything was ok. This was much appreciated. The apartment was clean, on a high floor with an unblocked view and perfectly located. We stayed for 3 nights and would have stayed longer had it been available for our unplanned 6 nights in Cardiff. Thank you Gabriele.

We really enjoyed our stay in the apartment, it is decorated beautifully and has everything you could need, particularly enjoyed the coffee machine and cold water function in the fridge. We all slept well including my friend who was on the sofa bed. Having access to 2 bathrooms was a nice perk, the shower was amazing! The host was super helpful and very responsive to all my messages, we required an earlier check-in and she managed to arrange this for us no problem and messaged me on the day to inform me when the apartment was ready, and were also given detailed instructions on how to obtain the keys and get to the on-site parking. Would definitely stay here again when returning to Cardiff!

    The unit was very comfortable with great facilities including a fully equipped kitchen and a washing machine. It had been updated, was very clean in a great location. The owner was very easy to contact and dealt with a minor issue straight away. He also provided lots of information about what to do/see in the area. Free parking on the street.

    Rear entrance access lift was great for me and location was perfect for the Nothing But Thieves Concert at Cardiff Castle I went to with one of my Sons. The hotel name sounds posh! I got a good deal on the price as a budget room with two single beds which was upgraded to a double round room with a good view of the city!
