Amazing reception team feels like home

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

The location is fantastic. It’s an easy walk to Cardiff city centre, with plenty of shops, restaurants, cafés, bars, and supermarkets nearby. Cardiff Central station and the bus routes are just a few minutes away, so getting around is easy, and Cardiff Bay is close for walks and evenings out. The street is generally quiet and safe.

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

Whenever I’ve needed anything, the team has responded quickly and kindly. Kat, Laura and Rhi always do their best to sort things out straight away and keep you updated.

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

I wish I’d known from the start how amazing the team is. Rhi made the viewing easy, Kat made moving-in day stressfree, and Laura brightens up reception every day, so don’t hesitate to ask them for anything. The location is great too it’s an easy walk to the city centre, Cardiff Central station and Cardiff Bay.

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

We have had a wonderful experience living in this flat. The property is lovely, comfortable, clean and well maintained, making it a perfect place to call home. The surroundings are peaceful and the environment is pleasant, with everything we need close by.

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

Very quickly and the issue was resolved within a day they are very keen on helping the tenants out

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

I wasn’t aware of car park as we purchased a car after moving to the property and when we parked outside we were getting fines. But when we enquired to property management they helped us and told us there was parking for tenants

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

The development is well located and is within close proximity of local amenities. It has excellent transport links into the city and parking is also available with a local car park at a discounted price which is great. It’s a very quiet neighbourhood and a lovely place to live!

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

Building management have been very responsive with our kitchen lighting issue in our flat - very minor issue with part of the led strip lighting needing a replacement. Onsite maintenance team means they are quick to sort things out.

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

I was surprised at how many communal spaces there were and how nicely the buildings are maintained

Great Location, Modern Apartments and Good Management

Giuliano Viana (Tenant)

Nov 2026

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

Living in this area of Cardiff has been a very good experience. The location is excellent, with plenty of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and cafés within easy reach. Cardiff Central station is nearby, which is particularly useful for commuting and travelling. Everything is quite accessible, making day-to-day life convenient. The area can be busy at times, especially with traffic, but this is expected when living so close to the city centre. Overall, it is a great location with everything you need nearby.

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

The management team has been friendly, professional and easy to deal with. Whenever assistance has been needed, they have been helpful and responsive. I am pleased with the way the building is managed and the level of support available to residents.

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

I would recommend checking the additional monthly costs before moving in, particularly parking, which costs £200 per month. This can make the overall cost of living here considerably higher. On the positive side, the location is excellent, and having shops, restaurants and transport connections nearby makes everyday life much easier. It is definitely worth considering if convenience is a priority.
