'Stace' in the City.

Greetings from A Space in the City on this lovely Tuesday afternoon, we have some good news! Our very own Stacey Bourge has offered to provide another dimension to our 'Space in the City' family by providing a 'tour guide' service to guests. Being our guest services representative, shes often to be found pounding the streets of Cardiff and is definitely the girl in the know when it comes to fun events, exciting new openings and interesting tourism ideas.

Here's a few short ideas from Stacey, but for any more info on 'Stace in the City' email her direct at staceyb@aspaceinthecity.co.uk.


Favourite Restaurant in Cardiff Bay?


Has to be Bellini’s so far-especially their awesome Bellini cocktails!



Favourite Bar in Cardiff town centre?


The Live Lounge and O’Neill’s for its great live music!


Best place to go for large families?

Why not sign up to Voucher Cloud and take advantage of fantastic offers on 2 4 1 on tours at the Millennium Stadium, Welsh Hawking Centre and many more.

If you could only visit one place in Cardiff where would it be?

I would definitely recommend Cardiff Castle and Bute Park on a nice sunny summers day and also Mermaid Quay as there is so many different places all in one location

Best nightclub in Cardiff town centre?


Retro’s for its cheesy 80’s tunes and free entry before 11pm.

Best place for a family to go with young children?

How about Techniquest-the science museum, or St Fagan’s for some traditional Welsh Heritage or when the weather is wet-The Red Dragon Centre for some bowling/eating/cinema and Dr Who fanatics!

Favourite thing to do on a sunny day in Cardiff?



Get  myself down to Mermaid Quay for some people watching, then all day 241 cocktails at Las Iguanas, and get on a powerboat ride to blow the cobwebs outta your hair!

Why choose a serviced apartment?

So the big question on everyones lips, Why stay in a serviced apartment over the traditional (boring) hotel option?

Well like the well known author Jane Austen once said: "There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort"

At A Space in the City, you can enjoy home like comforts in central locations with good transportation links and abundant choices of dining, shopping and entertainment ideas
.
Following are the top 5 reasons to choose an A Space in the City Apartment over a Hotel room.

1. Home Away from Home - A Space in the City's Apartments offer luxury serviced apartments, which are not just rooms but fully furnished living spaces with separate living rooms and bedrooms, suitable for both short and long stays.

2. Superior facilities- A Space in the City Serviced Apartments provide you with a very high standard of modern furnishings including First-class home entertainment facilities like TV, DVD, CD, washing machines and close proximity to local amenities such as  Banks, ATMs, supermarkets and medical facilities

3. Cost-effective- A Space in the City Apartments offer excellent value for money. We give you cost-effective accommodation options with flexible, transferable contracts. Business travelers can also save money by hosting meetings within our apartments instead of renting a separate meeting room.

4. The Feel Good Factor - The first few weeks or months in a new country can be hard but our apartments give you comfort, quality and all leading facilities to let you feel the Feel Good Factor.

5. Privacy- Unlike a hotel, where you have to share your lobby with other guests, serviced apartments offer a greater amount of privacy with your very own apartment.

Luxury serviced apartments are growing in popularity as more and more people realise the benefits over a conventional hotel.

If these reasons rock your boat, give our office a call on 02920 473 830 or check out our company website http://www.aspaceinthecity.co.uk/ for information on rates and special monthly deals!

Meet the team!

Here at A Space in the City, we're a small (but very important) group. Introductions are needed so all you readers of our blog know who's who.


So first things first, its probably best to mention our boss; Mr Richard Godfrey (The Godfather). Who recently invested in his first pair of wellies since he was knee-high to a grasshopper.

Next we have Matthew Hayward, our Operations Manager. Who's mainly to be found answering to the cries of 'Maaaat!?' in the office to sort out all big and (sometimes very) small emergencies.

 

Then there's Vicki Jones, who handles Accounts and Administration. She's usually to be found buried underneath a pile of invoices (secretly reading the latest fashion mags).

Lettings manager Kathryn Hancock goes by many alias's, 'Bird's Nest Head' being one of them.

Next we have Beccy Newton, Head of Reservations who's entire diet can be summed up by one song; 'Mcdonalds, Mcdonalds, Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut.'

Reservations consultant Stacey 'St Tropez' Laye (Laymondo) never to be caught with any white bits.

Guest Services coordinater Stacey Bourge is often to be found pounding the pavements of the Diff. She also loves dealing with all customer queries and quibbles (anything to get her off the streets).

Laura Dommet, Swansea portfolio manager is lucky twice over to only be required in the office once a week and to have the beach on her doorstep!

Keith Voisey, our Maintenance Manager (Mr Fix it) Is the man in the know.

Vivian Espie, (Head of housekeeping) and her housekeeping team are forever carting strange lost property back to the office.

Then we have the newbies who dont have a photo yet (hence being relegated to the bottom).
Richard Griffiths, Guest Services coordinator who unfortunately has the same initals as our MD so has been given the (unwanted) nickname of 'Neil'.




And Reservations consultant Angharad (Blog Queen) Price who occasionally gets mistaken for a man called 'Howard' with a high pitched voice.
