About this location
AirFreedom offers two separate Pontcanna apartments for hire as filming and photoshoot locations at 86 Ryder Street in Cardiff’s most desirable residential area. Pontcanna is Cardiff’s equivalent of Chelsea — leafy Victorian streets with an affluent residential character — making these apartments a credible stand-in for upscale domestic interiors that the city centre cannot easily provide. The Sapphire apartment is a 2-bedroom with high-end toiletries and fresh towels described as a filming-specific amenity, which suggests the owner has set the space up for the production market rather than just tolerating it. The Pearl’s open-plan living area with comfortable seating and flat-screen TV suits lifestyle and brand content that needs a believable living-room environment. At £120/hr these are boutique-rate options for Wales, but the calibre of the interiors justifies the premium for lifestyle and property sector productions.
