The house is a decent size and the nightly rate is cheap. It is also nice and warm and pretty clean. The check in/out was nice and easy. Tea bags were also provided and there are USB charging outlets in the living room and bedroom.

The road it's on doesn't feel super safe and had a lot of litter, the parking is on street and you're supposed to have a disc but one wasn't provided, instead I was told by Ben 'if you get a ticket, I'll pay it for you'. We had family nearby drop in for food, and they had to park in Sainsburys because of the lack of spaces. There was course sea salt but no salt mill, there were only four forks, the scourer in the kitchen was old and the temperature of the hot water wasn't adequate for a hot bath. The fridge could do with a deep clean and same for the shower screen. The toilet doesn't flush especially well, the back alley is kinda creepy (it's where you enter the back garden) and the bed in the main bedroom was annoyingly low. The pillows in the main bedroom are also old and thin and the towels provided are old too. And finally, while there were tea bags, there was no milk. A pint of milk is super cheap, and having this available so people can have a brew when they get in makes such a difference. I know Sainsburys isn't far away, but when you've driven a long way to get there, you just want a cup of tea.

Ben gave us accurate instructions on parking & entering the property. The house was lovely & warm on arrival, very clean & tidy. beds very comfortable. everything we needed in the property. We would definitely recommend & return.

the kitchen could have been supplied with a couple more tools should you wish to cook some items (ie. metal tray to place pies etc. on and a set of place mats for the glass topped table would improve the luxury aspect.

Great personal contact by owner. Video explanations on layout, parking and access to key was extremely helpful. Washing Machine was a bonus after several days of travel. Exactly as described and within walking distance to the grocery store and town centre. Many Thanks to Ben.

Leaking sink in bathroom. No upstairs toilet, but was fine for a 1 night stay. Perhaps another video to explain how to operate stove and oven for non-UK Lodgers (we were fine, but might frustrate some).

No wine glasses

Location, free parking, close to McVities and Sainsbury’s. Very responsive host

Uncomfortable sofas & beds

Central location. Comfy bed. Lots of usb charger points. Clean. Good communication from owner, who was very friendly. Use of YouTube videos showing check in process really clearly.

The street it’s located on; really run down, the house is opposite a derelict building, loud neighbours arguing into night and knocking on doors loudly at all hours, seagulls nesting right outside house and squealing all night long, no immediate parking (leaving car down at the end of the road in a separate car park, where you can’t see it), bath had mould all around it and was slow to drain, kettle spout was heavily stained blue, which when wiped came off on kitchen roll - this looked like a cleaning product that was very stubborn to remove, so we had no use of a kettle! No wine glasses. No salt and vinegar. Enough washing up liquid for one use. No oven tray to cook with. No cafeteria coffee press at all!

Close to City Centre and supermarket. Clean.

To get the key on arrival is down an alley full of brambles & weeds I think the owner could clear them. It should be stated that the bathroom (and only toilet) is on the ground floor. I found it quite a challenge going downstairs in the night to use it especially as there was no handrail on the stairs. Besides that a pleasant stay. Do not waste money going into Cardiff Castle as we did there is nothing in there.
