🛌 The bedroom

Bedroom 1: 1 double bed

🥘 The kitchen

The kitchen is fully equipped with an oven, hob, fridge, kettle, pans, crockery and utensils. Cooking your own meals makes a long stay in Cardiff far cheaper than eating out every night.

🖥️ Workspace and WiFi

There's a dedicated workspace with WiFi for laptop work, emails, timesheets and calls. It's a practical setup for business travellers, consultants and remote workers in Cardiff.

Every stay starts with a professional clean and a full check of the apartment. Fresh bedding, towels and essentials are included as standard.

Other Things to Note:

👤 Who this apartment is best for

This 1 bed apartment in Cardiff is ideal for a solo contractor, a working couple, NHS staff on placement, or a business traveller who wants their own space instead of a hotel room. It's especially good if you're arriving by train, as the city centre and Cardiff Central are walkable.



🙋 Who it may not suit

The apartment sleeps a maximum of 2 in one double bed, so it isn't suitable for groups, work crews or families with children. There's no private parking, so if you need to park a van or work vehicle every day, one of our larger Sahara Suites homes in Cardiff or Newport may be a better fit.



✅ What's included

Your stay includes a fully equipped kitchen, Smart TV, dedicated workspace, WiFi and a washing machine. Fresh bed linen, towels and essential toiletries are provided, so you only need to pack your clothes and personal items.



📶 About the WiFi

The apartment uses a 4G mobile WiFi router rather than fixed broadband. It works well for emails, browsing, streaming and standard video calls, but if your job relies on large uploads or all-day video conferencing, please message us before booking.

Weekly and monthly discounts of up to 20% are built into the price. With a washing machine, full kitchen and workspace, the apartment is set up for long stays in Cardiff, from a one week job to a three month contract.

If your employer, insurer, loss adjuster or relocation agent is paying, we can provide invoices and booking paperwork. Message us through Airbnb with the company name and billing details.

Check-in is from 3pm and checkout is by 10am. It's self check-in with a lockbox, and your arrival guide is sent through Airbnb before your stay.
