What’s not to love?!

The location is amazing and so convenient. All main bus routes you’ll need within 30 seconds of walking.
Any shop is a stones throw away and the noise cancellation if you have your windows shut is astounding. On a busy weekend, all you have to do is shut your windows and it’s silent.

Bin collections are always on time and everything is just convenient.

Please review your development:

This location is my partner and I’s first time renting and I will always say it’s like staying at a five star hotel, from the 24/7 security to the on-site gym, not to mention the roof terrace is amazing and the views are amazing.

The lifts are always maintained and are spectacularly convenient. My partner and i requested maintenance in our flat and our issue was resolved in 30 minutes of asking.

And to know someone will always accept and organise my parcel in a secure location makes me feel at ease that i’ll never miss a parcel.

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

I wish I would have known how busy the place can get outside, with it being by the station and all the other nearby traffic links.

It can get busy and loud but you can always shut your windows and it will be silent once more.

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

My partner and i requested maintenance at reception and our issue was seen to and fixed within 30 minutes of us asking.

Very convenient and stylish apartment in the heart of the city

This apartment is located in the city center, so it is conveniently located with many restaurants nearby. There is also a parking lot and a garbage collection station inside the apartment building, making it convenient.

Please review your development:

The design is great. The common areas are cleaned every day which is great. If I had to say one thing that could be improved, the top deck receives strong sunlight, so it gets hot in the afternoon, especially in summer. It might be a good idea to add blind curtains.

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

Noisy at night due to noise from nearby pubs and construction. The preview visit was during the day, so I didn’t know what it would be like outside at night.

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

The staff were always helpful when I was in trouble.

Excellent place to stay for new resident in Cardiff.

Review Date Sep 2024

location is at the center of Cardiff and next to the trainstation which is convenient/excellent for person like me relocation from a country at several thousand miles away. My room can’t hear the noise from trainstation. Private parking lot is available for rent.

Please review your development:

Overall is good except one time shortage of hot water for a week. I can get fast feedback from the management team always. The structure of the building has good isolation of noise from trainstation and street. Safety control is good for access card security.

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

amount of council tax to be paid is higher than my expectation.

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

Water leakage at washing machine has been investigate within 2 hours after it been reported.

Great development

Review Date Sep 2024

Really well located development right in the heart of Cardiff with access to every bar and restaurant in Cardiff centre. Cardiff Central train station is on the doorstep with trains direct to London and Manchester and the new bus depot is literally on site. Parking is at a premium and noise can be loud at certain times / days of the week, if you have to open the windows … otherwise peaceful.

Please review your development:

Great development. Apartments are well laid out and the communal spaces are first class. Gym has all you would require and the working / collaboration areas are fantastic.

What sets it apart however is the friendly staff who always say hello and are very helpful.

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

Just open the windows to hear any noise outside. Visit on a sunny day.

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

To date I have had no issues but they were hugely helpful moving in and explaining the heating system.
