Comfortable City Living with Top-Notch Service Team

The Copper Works, CF10

Nov 2025

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Living at The Copper Works, Cardiff is very convenient with shops, cafés, and restaurants nearby. Transport links are good, with buses and Cardiff Central within walking distance. Bin collection is standard, and there can be some traffic noise and occasional anti-social behaviour typical of city-centre living nearby.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Quick to resolve issues, helpful and professional.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Keep public areas clean, especially on weekends; control pets in lifts; and be mindful of gym noise, such as phone calls or timers, so it doesn’t disturb others.

Loved my stay!

Nov 2025

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Local area is buzzing with good energy and great vibe! Always a delight to look out or go out for a walk… only sometimes there was some noise at night from the clubs around, but with windows shut, it didn’t matter much…

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Amazing experience! Aled helped me move in with solid support! Luke and Mohammad were always there to help me with all that I needed.. and Harita has truly gone of out her way to help me with smooth transition of moving out… I couldn’t truly be happier!

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Can’t think of any.

Peaceful Community with Easy Access to Shops and Transpor

Yiyi (Tenant)

Wood Street House, CF10

Nov 2025

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Living in this area is generally pleasant. There’s a good range of local shops, cafés, and restaurants within walking distance, and several lovely open spaces for walks or jogging. Public transport is convenient, though sometimes buses can be delayed during peak hours. Parking is manageable but can be tricky at weekends, and bin collections are mostly reliable. The street feels safe overall, with little anti-social behaviour and moderate traffic noise.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Harita is generally responsive and helpful, resolving most problems within a reasonable time frame.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

It would have been helpful to know that some apartments face a busy road, which can get a bit noisy during rush hours.

Manager response

Hello Yiyi, Thank you for your review. Your kind words mean a lot to us. We will be sure to pass on your comments to Harita and the team. Thank you for choosing to stay here with us at Wood Street House.
