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

The location is right in the city centre with loads of great shops, restaurants and bars all within walking distance. Cardiff Central station is close by, so transport links are really convenient. The main downside is parking, as there’s no on-site option, so having a car can be tricky

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

Communication is clear, problems are dealt with, and the team are friendly and approachable.

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

I’d also say it’s important to plan ahead if you have a car, as there’s no on site parking. If you have a pet, you’ll fit right in

A Thoughtfully and Stylishly Designed, Pet-Friendly Place to Call Home

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

Living between Cardiff city centre and Cardiff Bay offers a great balance of convenience and lifestyle. The location is ideal, with easy walking access to shops, transport, cafés, cultural venues and the waterfront, making day-to-day life very easy. The area feels lively and well-connected, though it can be busy at times, particularly in the evenings and at weekends, and some parts feel more urban than residential. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot for anyone who enjoys being close to the action while still having the Bay’s open space and scenery nearby. Only downside is parking, can be expensive and hard to find street parking.

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

Building management have always responded to any problems or requests very quickly and efficiently. Communication is clear and professional, and they are consistently accommodating, doing their best to resolve issues as smoothly as possible. It’s reassuring to know that concerns are taken seriously and dealt with promptly, which really adds to the overall living experience.

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

Nothing! Everything was explained very well to me throughout the moving in process

Gramercy is conveniently close to all the local amenities. A short walk into town. Across the road from Cardiff central station. Considering we are so close to town the areas directly surrounding the building are reasonably quiet and peaceful .

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

Yes, any issues have been taken seriously and dealt with promptly.

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

No comment to add. I was given a full tour and asked all relevant questions before moving here.
