Prior to arrival, the communication from the property manager was excellent and meeting her in person was a welcome greeting. We were offered a different bigger apartment ( we were called upon arrival) and the following night I moved into the one I booked originally. Both apartments were super lovely and clean, bedrooms and living rooms were spacious and the decor seemed new and perfectly kept up. Kitchen was nicely accessoried. Toiletries were gorgeous. Bedrooms have black oit blinds and beds really comfortable Nice touch were double pillows on each side and fresh milk in the fridge. There is a private parking at the back for a modest extra £10. Centre and Uni are walking distance. Would certainly recommend the chain and hope to go back soon. Thank you for a very easy stay.

There was construction going on while we stayed that forced us to walk through a tight area of scaffolding with luggage (temporary, I'm sure). Otherwise, we really enjoyed the stay. It was much better than staying in a hotel. Only complaint is all of the doors swung closed and wouldn't stay open! Not at all a deal breaker...I would stay there again.

Fantastic 2 bed apartment in a lovely location, with an easy and enjoyable walk into the city centre. The apartment was spacious, clean and exactly what we needed for our 3 night stay. The SACO team were responsive from start to finish and Kieran especially was a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Cardiff, we'd definitely stay again.

Only a few minutes walk from Sofia Gardens, city centre & Millenium Stadium. Excellent communication from Kieran, property manager. There was only 1 tea bag, although if we had mentioned it, I feel sure Kieran would have sorted it. Would use again.

Change of venue last minute
We never stayed here as the accommodation was “double booked due to a computer glitch”. We were contacted three days prior to check in and offered a new apartment. The new venue was closer to Cardiff centre and served our needs well. The computer glitch was still not resolved on the day of check in as I was sent an email to register online.
