Saco Cardiff

Cardiff


This large town house has been given a contemporary makeover and converted into one- and two-bedroom serviced apartments, complete with comfortable lounges and fitted kitchens. They're set up for longer visits, but one-night stays are possible midweek. The two-bedroom apartments are good value for families with kids, and there's an extra sofa bed in the lounge.
