Fantastic location and property size. Had all the facilities needed for a comfortable and cozy stay. This accommodation provided the perfect balance of inner city living while not feeling too close to the busy city centre. 100% recommend to anyone looking for a calm and relaxing get away to Cambridge.
During our stay the accommodation was very hot, however the weather was exceptional at the time. The accommodation had fans to cool down the rooms along with blinds in the bedroom. We kept these down during the day to keep the room cool but the living room ceiling windows don’t have blinds. As a result it became very hot during the day. The weather was exceptional so keep in mind that it could be hot if you’re staying here in good weather.

Perfectly located in a quiet area but close to numerous places to eat and drink. A beautiful 15min walk into the centre of town along the river to explore all of Cambridge's sights. The place has everything you could need and the bed is super comfortable. The free parking is such a bonus too!

The property was modern, clean and well maintained. The location was also very convenient given the things we wanted to do.
The property is advertised as "air conditioned", but that isn't quite the case. The fans provided were helpful although, at times it was quite warm especially in the upstairs bedroom.

The location was perfect, a lovely walk through the park (2 minutes away from The Birches) to the centre of town. Also near to where the punts were moored and over the bridge to a lido. Plenty of places to eat out close by but fully equipped modern spotless kitchen for home cooking. Apartment on 2 floors, modern bright decor, comfortable sofas. Very friendly welcome from the owner Nicky.
We visited in the heatwave and we couldn't sleep upstairs it was so hot as there were no opening windows in the bedroom. Two good fans were provided but it was exceptional weather and we couldn't cool down. I'm sure 99% of the time the bedroom would be fine, again it was very comfortable and beautifully furnished.
Thank you

Excellent location, very quiet but just a short, fairly level walk into town. Several variants to route possible which made the walk into town more interesting. Good pavements and paths through parks. Set up and access into town probably workable for a wheelchair user with some mobility. Parking a real bonus, as is the small outside seating area.
It was hot in the property due to number of velux in the lounge.

Very good central position.
Well appointed kitchen.
Easy to use equipment.
Nice crockery.
The shower was lovely and there was always plenty of hot water.
The sofa bed was extremely difficult to use and my friend decided it was easier to sleep on the floor. This was disappointing.
The living room was spacious and the light poured through the multiple velux windows. I would imagine this would be a problem for some people sleeping in that room.
There was an unpleasant smell that seemed to emanate from the bathroom. This did not seep throughout the house as we kept the door shut.

Great location - we were able to walk into central Cambridge easily.
Onsite parking was great.
On arrival it was a sunny day and the property was very hot, and difficult to cool down.
Lumpy pillows!!!
Bathroom had no heating.

It's a nice accommodation, walking distance from the main interest points in Cambridge.
The furniture feels cheap, and the back garden makes only sense if you smoke. The sofa bed is not very comfortable to sleep on, and the skylights let way too much sun in if you sleep downstairs.

It had extremely good amenities and was very clean. The location is fairly close to the city centre which is very convenient. The sofas downstairs are comfortable and the kitchen and bathroom were well equipped with everything one might need to feel at home. The host was extremely kind, welcoming and helpful. They promptly answer to any queries and ensured that everything was alright during my stay.

Lovely, fully self contained accommodation. Clear instructions and easy access to property. Close to central Cambridge. We walked everywhere easily.
The internal stairs are tricky to navigate. If you are fit and well balanced, all good but if you are not, you may struggle with these as the bathroom is downstairs from the bedroom.

Clean, fresh, lovely decor this is a great little place to stay with parking. Lots of natural light coming in from all the skylights.
Although we were close to Cambridge I thought the immediate area was a little run down.

Spacious property with double height ceiling in the living room, plenty of light, comfy sofas, very private. Driveway at the front of the property so car parking wasn’t a problem. Loved the location, within a short walk to the university colleges and shopping. Highly recommended.

Nicky was great, she organised bits for a Birthday. Nicky was very friendly and very helpful, great customer service. The apartment was beautiful, high ceilings, netflix provided, milk ready in the fridge along with other bits and bobs in the kitchen. Fans provided also. Booklet in the apartment to explain the area and what there is to do in Cambridge which was very useful as it was our first time. The centre was a 10/15 minute walk which was perfect for us.
The one standing fan didn’t swivel and made a very loud noise, this wasn’t too much of an issue as there were two so we swapped them around. In the bedroom there was no TV although there was one in the cupboard. ideally the TV could be on the wall. There was only one window in the bedroom which opened which made our stay very hot. There were crumbs in the bottom of some draws when we arrived and a few hairs from the customer before.

The apartment was in a very modern nice style. Looked just like on the pictures. It's just the style we like. Big living room, great for dining and a evening dinner. Kitchen had everything. Big and very clean bathroom. The bedroom on the attic is a great touch. It was also spacious and very modern in style.
Location is perfect. Close to a very lovely park and 10 minutes walk to city centre. Shop's, Pubs and restaurant near by. Also very close buy was Cambridge Punting. Overall all great location.
The only small thing I can say that in couple places the walls need a fresh coat of paint but that didn't take away from the place.

Great location, great shower, very comfortable stay, well equipped, good light in all the rooms due to the velux windows. Good parking for 1 car. Would definitely recommend this property
Some of the kitchen equipment needs replacing eg egg lifter was impossible to use as the end was burnt off.
