I haven't had many issue but Luke the maintenance man and the on site team have quickly responded and reacted to any requests ASAP! It great knowing they are there whenever you need them!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Wood Street House is located directly in front of Cardiff Central Station, which is extremely convenient for transport. The area is surrounded by a wide range of shops, cafés, and local markets, all just a short walk away. Living here feels like being right in the heart of the city centre, with easy access to almost every facility, store, and activity you might need. It’s an ideal location for convenience, connectivity, and vibrant city life.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Very fast and clear. I had a smooth and stress-free moving-out experience, thanks to Harita from the management team. From start to finish, she was incredibly helpful, clear, and cooperative. Her detailed instructions and prompt responses to any questions made the entire process easy to follow and very manageable. She consistently provided the information we needed in a way that was easy to understand, and her support throughout was truly appreciated.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The apartment location in relation to the sun. I had a very warm days during summer and sometime it can be too warm.
