Right in the heart of Cardiff Bay, this apartment puts buzzing eateries, iconic landmarks, and the sparkling waterfront at your fingertips. You're only a stone's throw from the Wales Millennium Centre and a five-minute walk from Cardiff Bay Station. Built in 1874, the building is bursting with historic touches – from Grade II listed limestone exteriors to traditional windows and high ceilings. The modern kitchen has all you need to rustle up a meal or two, and the open-plan layout makes it easy to come together. We think it's a great base for a few friends or a couple of couples.

Home truths
One allocated parking space is provided. You'll find a parking permit in one of the drawers – it needs to be displayed at all times. If you're not driving, nearby buses make it easy to venture into central Cardiff.
Given the location near Mermaid Quay and a local pub, expect to hear some noise throughout your stay.
Starter toiletries are provided. However, you will want to stock up on other essentials such as coffee and tea, as these are not included.
Self-check-in is available here. You'll either pick up the keys at a nearby property or use a lockbox on the premises. Your host will confirm instructions before your arrival.
Your host uses a third-party platform called Truvi for ID verification and to manage damage deposits independently from Plum Guide. They'll send you a link to fill out when you book.

There are beautifully preserved Victorian arcades to explore,...
