El alojamiento es tal cual se describe en las fotos, todo bien equipado y limpio. Está cerca del centro de la ciudad, a unos 15 minutos andando y con supermercados cerca. El propietario nos ha respondido con rapidez cuando hemos tenido alguna duda, lo recomiendo :).

Nice house but incorrectly advertised as 2 double bedrooms.
After booking we requested photos of the bedrooms as none where on the website. That's how we found that one was a single room. Nevertheless we had a lovely stay. The house is clean bright and modern and location is great. Claire was a good host and responded well to anything we needed. We would stay again if visiting Cardiff.
