Wood Street House, CF10

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

Being in the heart of the city centre, the amenities are all at a walking distance! There is a tesco only a 1 minute walk which opens late 7 days a week which is very convenient. I personally am very happy with the noise as although you’re in the city centre it is still fairly quiet and relaxing. There is the occasional noise when there are events happening but that is a given living in the city centre and is not like that 24/7

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

If I ever had any issue, the management team is very responsive and will ensure the problems are solved

To be honest what you see in the viewing is what you get. I was very impressed and it has not disappointed me one bit.

Living at Wood Street House has been a great experience overall. The best part is the unbeatable location-everything is within walking distance, from shops, restaurants, and bars to major attractions in the heart of Cardiff. The Cardiff Central Station and Bus Station are just minutes away, making it extremely convenient for travel within the city and beyond. There are also plenty of activities, entertainment options, and green spaces nearby, making it a lively and engaging place to live. The only downside is the noise on weekends, particularly from nightlife and the sound of bottles being thrown in the trash, which is very disruptive. However, this is expected in a central location with a vibrant atmosphere. If you don't mind the occasional city noise, the convenience and accessibility more than make up for it.

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

Issues are tended to almost immediately or within the next working day, with the building management responding efficiently and ensuring residents' concerns are resolved promptly.

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

I wish I had realized that living in such an area with an active nightlife means that noise and the sound of bottles breaking on weekends are inevitable. It’s something that isn’t always obvious during a typical viewing, but it’s worth considering if you’re sensitive to noise.
