The Bassey

Compact but practical and modern, this one-bedroom apartment is ideal for everyone from solo nomads on a tour of the UK's castles – Cardiff's lies only minutes away – to romantic weekends in the city and even business trips. The heart of Cardiff with restaurants – great for candlelit dinners – and cafes – for work meet-ups – is a short drive or twenty-five-minute walk away. Though the home is small, there's room enough to comfortably fit two, though we could caution taller guests to watch their heads around the sloped ceilings. Short-stay parking is available outside the home, but Westville Road is best for all-day parking and is a five-minute stroll from the flat.

Home truths:
*As there is a flight of stairs to the entrance of the flat and another inside the home, it might not be the best option for those with reduced mobility. *Though a car isn't essential, you'll find on-street parking here should you choose to hire one. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *This home is located within an apartment building, with a shared entrance. Expect to bump into other guests during your stay. *Your host provides a starter supply of toiletries, but you might want to bring your own to top this up. The nearest supermarket for stocking up is a six-minute drive away. *Hen and stag parties are strictly not allowed at this home.
