Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location is amazing! Charles St. is relatively quiet but on the edge of any shop that you need and nearby plenty of bus stops.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They responded to every problem we’ve had and been very helpful.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The fridge is really small it’s a mini fridge which would’ve been nice to know because it was hard to fit a lot of stuff in.
Manager response

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Everything is great, literally everything you’ll ever need is minutes away and very nice that the train station is seconds away
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Super fast response time and super helpful would recommend enough
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I didn’t know they’d have key cards almost like a hotel which is great

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Living in the city centre means everything is on your doorstep shops, bars, restaurants, gyms, and parks. You’re 2 minutes from Cardiff Central station, so transport is super convenient. The area can be a bit noisy at night, especially on weekends, but you get used to it. Bin collections are regular and the streets are generally clean. Being in the heart of the city comes with a great buzz and lots of things to do.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The maintenance of the building is great, very clean and everything works fine
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The city center can be noisy on the weekends, but is something that you get used quickly

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
With our a doubt the estate is one of the ugliest estates I have ever lived in - bland housing design, area is lifeless poor maintenance of the surrounding area. Location is quite good but public transport is horrendous. It never looks clean, houses look dirty - It’s classed as old at melons for purpose of paying higher council tax. Persimmon and Remus combined are an absolute shambles to deal with - poor quality home build and even worse maintenance of the estate.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
How bad persimmon were - wish I knew about their reputation as a cowboy house builder
What is the best feature of your home:
Nothing -poor poor quality - hidden fees that are just a ploy to extort money from its residents

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
This is in a perfect spot for transport links. It’s also right in the centre of town so convenient for everything that’s going on. Parking is a problem though, so it’s better not to have a car!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I haven’t raised any problems or issues with building management. Although as I’ve said above, I would like to be able to cool the apartment during the hot summer months.
