About this property
No.2 Richmond Apartments by Switchback Stays
2-bedroom apartment in ideal location. Free parking (permit provided).
FREE street side parking (permit provided). You'll be staying right in the heart of the city, on the first floor of a traditional Cardiff building (up one flight of stairs).
Perfect for a comfortable and unique stay.....there are two double bedroom, spacious living room with dining area. You will have fast WiFi and a smart TV.
There is also a well equipped kitchen with everything you need to prepare and enjoy meals - oven, stove, microwave along with a Lavazza coffee machine & pods for you to enjoy.
The bathroom is a good size and has a shower over the bath.
You'll be ideally located right in the city centre area and we'll be sure to give you some 'don't miss!' recommendations.....including our favourites Sticky Fingers - an indoor street food place with seating. The Ivy for some delicious food in a lovely setting & The Botanist for drink & food.
It's an ideal place to base yourself if you're in Cardiff for work or leisure. You'll be a 15 minute walk away from the shops, bars and restaurants of Cardiff city centre.
The city centre location brings all the convenience you would expect from staying in a major european city. You can expect some train noise from the rear of the property as there is a train-line nearby. Whilst not a busy street there is the normal city feel to the area.
Wales Principality Stadium (1.5 miles away), Motorpoint Arena, Cardiff Castle, St Davids shopping centre and all the excellent bars and restaurants that the city has to offer are in close proximity.
The attractions of Cardiff Bay are also just a couple of miles away. The Bay has lots to offer bars, restaurants, international white water centre, Cardiff international pool, ice rink and much more. Its a great escape from city life with a lovely walk around the barrage to Penarth Marina.

About the host
Hosted by Claire Powell
I'm Claire and I'll be your host at this apartment. Whilst I'm not on-site I'll be on-hand via messages or a phone call if you need anything. There's lots to see and do in the city
and I'd be happy to give you some recommendations.
Our business is called Switchback Stays and we run several properties as self-contained apartments for visitors to the city. We also live in Cardiff (and have done for over 20 years) so know the city and the surrounding areas well.
Outside of giving our guests a top-quality stay and experience I have a background in sport, specifically tennis. I have been a tennis coach for over 20 years and as a junior player reached national level. My proudest achievement came in 2019 when I had the fantastic opportunity to represent Great Britain in the Seniors World Team Championships in Miami.

Why they chose this property
As soon as we saw this apartment we knew it would be perfect for our guests. It's a great location, on a quiet street but a short walk into the city centre.
It's spacious and underwent a full-scale refurbishment earlier this year. Our designer loved making the most of the space with contemporary furniture and some bespoke finishing touches.

What makes this property unique
There's a large smart TV, coffee machine and everything you need to prepare and enjoy meals.....if you don't fancy cooking there is an abundance of takeaway options that will deliver to the address.
