October 2024Great location- quiet street and city centre was walkable. The apartment was very clean and had everything you needed for a few nights. Might be important to note for some- you have to go through the second bedroom to get to the bathroom with the shower, there’s only a toilet outside of this, but this didn’t bother us as mum and daughter. Overall would stay again!

September 2024Lovely place close to a friends house who we were visiting. We would definitely recommend. I was charged a security deposit in order to access check in details which I thought (maybe incorrectly) was against the rules of airbnb.

August 2024A fantastic 2 bed apartment in Pontcanna exactly as per the listing and photographs. Beds were very comfortable and bathrooms were modern and clean. The hosts were exceptionally responsive and the information provided regarding check in / what to do etc is probably the best I’ve experienced. Really pleased we found this property and that it was available for when we needed to be in the area. Would not hesitate to recommend to couples / families alike.

August 2024We had a very nice stay at Pedro and Alina's - the apt is very nicely decorated in a beautiful part of town with walking access to several bus lines and especially the beautiful Bute park. The beds and linens were super comfortable! As shared with Pedro and Alina, some additional tableware and consumables would be a plus. If you need the amenities for children, remember to request them as they are not on site.

June 202486 Ryder Street was perfect! Our family of four had a wonderful 2 night stay. The flat was beautiful and clean. It had everything we needed. It was so quiet and peaceful for sleeping. No street or city noise and only the occasional muffled footsteps from the unit above. The neighborhood is very walkable to downtown so we never needed to move our car once we located the free parking spaces. We loved this beautiful neighborhood so much and would move in if we could!! We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if we ever travel to Cardiff in the future!

April 2024Pedro & Alina's property is a top spot with a luxurious yet homely feel. Pedro and Alina were responsive and took time to respond to my complaint about having to pay security deposit on top of the Airbnb charges. I would highly recommend

March 2024Beautiful stay in an amazing location, the hosts Pedro & Alina were incredibly accommodating, friendly & responsive. The apartment is even better than the photos in person - everything designed with an immaculate finish. The neighbourhood is lovely, lots of things to do and central, it was still very peaceful with a lovely sound of the birds in the garden in the morning. Overall, I’d highly recommend & will be staying again in the future! Thanks so much :)

March 2024My partner and I stayed Pedro and Alina’s apartment for a long weekend and we could not think of a better place to have stayed in. Situated in Pontcanna, the apartment is able to avoid the hustle and bustle of the city whilst only being a quick walk to the city centre. There are plenty of amenities around and we managed to visit some of the nearby cafes (our favourite being Ground Bakery.) The apartment is incredibly spacious and is decorated in a very clean but cosy manner. The shower was by far my favourite part of this flat! Whilst living in Cardiff for 6 years parking was always an issue, however, that was not the case here as Pedro and Alina recommended nearby free parking spots which we were able use for the entirety of our stay. Great hosts with excellent communication on the run up to our stay, I would recommend everyone to stay at this apartment if they are visiting Cardiff!
