Once the verification process is successfully completed, check-in information will be provided. If you opted in for a deposit, this will be refunded via credit/debit card after your stay, subject to an inspection of the property. Pets - not allowed Smoking - not allowed
If you want a great location to be able to walk to a lot of shops, restaurants and sights, this is one to consider. It had great security. If you are traveling with a car, you will be challenged with finding parking and you will have to walk quite a ways to get to and from your car. Otherwise, this was a very comfortable place to hang out in Cardiff.
The location is amazing and the apartment is equipped with everything that one needs (e.g., laundry tabs, tabs for the dishwasher, fully equipped kitchen...).
Unfortunately, the bathroom lock & door handle was completely broken. I informed the landlord and they promptly contacted somebody to come and fix it. This person was in contact with me, but never showed up. The apartment was clearly recently cleaned for my stay, but it cannot hurt to get a deeper clean (e.g., the bed sheets had residuals, as well as the washing machine etc.). All in all - a good accomodation with an amazing location!
Pros:
-Great location
-Beautiful and clean interior
-Kitchen comes with necessary appliances
-Great value for what you pay for
Cons
-Check in was way too difficult for no reason. Essentially you have to get your key from a lockbox that is on a bike in the city center. The company gave us the wrong combination which made the whole ordeal very frustrating. We had to use international minutes (expensive) in order to call them and the company did not offer to reimburse us for our troubles.
-The instructions left for us stated we would have access to hot water 24/7. This was not true as one day we did not have any hot water at all, even after we "boosted" the water heater as the instructions told us to.
-Even though they disclose the security deposit required in the listing, I still think it is silly to make us have to use a third party vendor for a security deposit when VRBO offers such services.
