The studio was so small that, when moving from the left to the right side of the bed, I had to walk sideways. My feet had to be in a slanted position; it was uncomfortable. The building was too close to its neighbor. The studio I got looked nothing like its depiction on Expedia. To enjoy some privacy, I improvised curtains made out of black garbage bags. It rained consistently for most of my stay, so I stayed inside. There were dark gray skies and no natural light anywhere. In spite of the nice fixtures, I felt I was in a hole. There was an endless parade of undesirable characters producing undesirable noises in attempts to create a totally undesirable contact; just as I had predicted and expressed concern about when I made my reservation. After I set up my safety gadgets, the noises subsided but never ceased. They were most noticeable late morning or early afternoon, right before a “housekeeper” would knock on my door. Oddly, they wanted to come inside to pick-up the trash. On one occasion, there was a soft knock followed by an attempt to get inside. My safety gadgets prevented the intrusion. I opened the door then and found a young woman wearing a hijab; I felt a little unsettled. I asked the woman to please bring me a roll of toilet paper the next day and leave by my door. That did not happen. The undesirable noises also happened late at different nights. It was like new misguided creatures believed they could “get me” by doing more of the same. It was nauseating.

I am a visitor from Germany and don’t know Cardiff. This place was very clean and nicely fitted out/decorated, with some nice modern touches which lifted the place above the average and made it feel more cheerful :-) Everything I needed was there. I felt comfortable and safe. Great location with bus stop outside the door and very close to city centre and train station. The only thing I would recommend is checking the mattress-which seemed to be uneven. It may be time for a new one! Many thanks for a very good stay.

Only real issues are that it is a narrow staircase to bring bags up and down. Also the room is quite small. Nice but small.

This is a gorgeous property, steps from the Cardiff train station. My son is going to uni close by, and I will try to book this studio every time I visit. The whole place is awesome, rooms are beautiful, a little deck, and very secure. Pick this one people! You won’t be disappointed. Dara

I like how close to the central Cardiff it was, but not in. The water made a nice divide. A very walkable location and it was very clean apartment. The only issue was someone burning a fire near by every night and the smoke and smell came in the room, it was fight between staying cool or smelling smoke. Over all a good stay.

Really modern, lovely room, great location. I saw quite a few short white hairs on the bed runner and both cutlery and cups were not particularly clean. A little more attention to this would have made the stay great.
