About the host

Hosted by Claire Powell

Host profile image
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.
