Great Property

Pain free check in - great communication from Switchback Stays from booking to arrival and even beyond. Great house close to Cardiff City Centre - we walked in and back. Nice touches with Shampoo, Conditioner, Shower Gel, Washing up liq and kitchen bits and bobs provided. House was clean and although not mentioned downstairs bedroom so ideal if travelling with someone with limited mobility. Parking is limited - as in outside the property - 1st night we parked in next street but able to move to outside property in morning so not a major issue. Would definately recommend and would book again either this or another property from Switchback stays if travelling to Cardiff again.
Stayed 3 nights in May 2024
