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

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

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.
