Thank you!
It's still definitely front of mind for me. I've got this Friday off work so am weighing up visiting to try and get a feel for the place. I know it's technically against the guidelines, but I live alone, have no real social contact and would just spend the time walking around the city before crashing at a Premier Inn.
Would you/anyone else familiar with the area be able to list a few different areas that I should explore over the course of a day on foot?

Haven’t lived there in a while but I lived in Canton (before it was cool ;) ) that’s along the cowbridge rd also Pontcanna (when it was cool) that’s on the west of the city. About a mile from the centre.
Chapter Arts centre used to be the hub of activity for me. Cinema, art,bar,evening classes, gigsI lived in Grangetown too which was ok but not sure you just wanna wander aimlessly around bits of that.
Also Cardiff here, grew up and came back. Would agree with a lot that's been said so far, I've mostly lived Roath/Cathays/penylan side of the city which is pretty good too, if less trendy than Canton/Pontcanna etc. City is small enough that it sort of doesn't matter where you are, you still get access to the good stuff.
Have looked at moving away for jobs a few times but can't ever make it stack up cost of living wise.
