    We had a great stay. Lovely clean, comfortable apartment with plenty of room for the four of us. Within easy walking distance of the city centre and all it has to offer. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend this to anyone looking for a good place to stay in Cardiff.

    Had a lovely time staying at this airbnb… Looked exactly like the pictures they had posted, the apartment is really beautiful. I must say we didn’t get much sleep on the first night as the guests they had above us were making a lot of noise at 2am and at other periods during the night, but I guess that’s no fault of our hosts. But next time I would stay in apartment 2 which is upper floor as you can hear every foot step when staying on the ground floor.

    I was not comfortable with being diverted onto a web site outside Air B&B for communication following my booking. I was not used to having to provide copies of my passport and credit card along with £100 deposit. These things should be made clear upfront on the Air B&B website so the customer can decide if this is convenient before completing the booking. You have a very nice flat and I can appreciate you want to cover yourselves in case of fraud or damage. As a customer I also need the same reassurance so these things not going through the Air B&B website do ring alarm bells. I hope you see this feedback is useful and constructive and find a way to get the right balance.

    Clean, comfortable and spacious. The kitchen and bathrooms were immaculately clean, well equipped, and I would stay here again. The only issue regarding the description is that you need to be aware that access to the bathroom is through the second bedroom. This was not a problem for us, but should the accommodation be booked for two couples it may be inconvenient.
