Being just a 25min walk / 6 min drive to the city centre, you can get about so easily, but you’ll find it hard to resist leaving this flat. We’ve made this apartment into a really stylish space, but completely liveable too, with all the key equipment provided for your stay. The kitchen has all the essentials to whip up a home cooked meal, which can be enjoyed at the dining table and afterwards, you can relax on the sofa with a film on the flat screen. If you are visiting for work the super-fast 350mb wifi will no doubt be of use and if you are too busy to cook, then there are an abundance of restaurants and takeaways minutes from your front door. The flat is double glazed for your comfort. The bedroom is very flexible with twin beds, which can be joined to be a comfortable king size bed, whilst the shower room provides all the essentials for your stay away. ACCESS: The apartment is one of three in the building and is located on the first floor, up one flight of stairs. We operate a self check in using a keysafe, and you will be provided with the details on the day of your arrival. WHAT TO SEE & DO: Roath is a really popular and vibrant area of Cardiff, with everything on your doorstep. There are an array of restaurants and cafes of all cuisines on the doorstep, especially around the corner along Wellfield Road. It’s recently had a write up in ‘Wales Online’ as becoming one of the best places to eat out in Cardiff! If you prefer to don the apron yourself, you can find supermarkets (Sainsbury’s & Tesco’s) a stones throw from the apartment, or there is always the famous Cardiff Market in the city centre. Formally the old jail (but don’t let that put you off!) you can find stalls full of all sorts of fresh and cooked ingredients. You are spoilt for shopping options in Cardiff, with small boutique shops on and around Albany Road and the larger shopping arcades and centres in the centre itself. If you are visiting for history and culture then Cardiff certainly has plenty to offer, with William Burges’ Cardiff Castle (the interior is definitely worth a tour!) and the National Museum of Wales which is free (donations are gratefully received however!). It’s worth looking on the Visit Wales website to find out more. The Principality Stadium’s reputation precedes itself (especially for all the sporting fans) and is a 35min walk, 13 min drive and about 20mins on the bus. We could go on and talk about The Bay, Motorpoint Arena, St David’s Hall, Roath Park, Barry Island (for the Gavin & Stacy fans!), the Brecon’s and so much more but if there is anything you'd like to know more about, please let us know. TRANSPORT: You are in a really good spot for getting around in Roath, with pretty much everywhere in walking distance, however regular buses to and from the city centre as well as taxis are available. From Cardiff Airport you can get a bus to the city centre (Canal Street) which takes about 30 mins. When you arrive in the centre a very short walk to Bute Street will enable you to catch a bus to Alfred Street, Albany Road and you are a 2 min walk from the apartment. The buses are very regular and go all over Cardiff and the surrounding areas (including Cardiff Bay), so do check out the traveline.cymru website to plan your journey. Alternatively Uber does operate in Cardiff (about 6 mins to the city centre and usually around £7), as well as other taxi firms: Dragon Taxis, Premier Taxis and Capital Cabs (all numbers you can find online). It is worth a mention that the Universities are very accessible from the apartment on foot or via bus too. Trains from Cardiff Central run regularly and this is a great way to go further afield without the stress of driving and parking. Some destination examples are: London – 2hrs, Bath – 1hr, Swansea – 1 hr. The GWR website is useful to check out routes and timetables. Other modes of transport that are worth a mention if you are more of an outdoors fan are the water taxis that you can catch to take you along the River Bute (Cardiff Boat) or from the Castle to the Bay (Aqua Bus). Also for the cyclists, there is Pedal Power and Cardiff cycle Tours who you can rent a bike from and go along the Taff Trail. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car not required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - TV ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (limited availability) - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property;
