Nothing

My son and I stayed at this property while visiting Cambridge. it is well located in a quiet residential neighbourhood. Everything we needed for an enjoyable stay was provided. The apartment is bright and airy, nicely decorated given the constraints of Covid. The kitchen has all the basic requirements for preparing meals including an enormous fridge and freezer, dishwasher, microwave, cooktop, etc. Shopping for food is easy with a large Tesco a short walking distance away. There is a washing machine but no dryer. A drying rack is provided. Having two full bathrooms is really convenient. There is an extractor fan for the family bathroom but, in the peculiar way British electrics work, the switch is located above the bathroom door. Beds are comfortable with good quality bedding. Getting into Cambridge town centre is an enjoyable walk by various routes, including along the Cam River where you can watch rowing practice. Nearer the apartment is a pretty park attached to St Andrews church where traditional bell ringing is practiced on Thursday evenings. Chris, our host. was very pleasant to deal with and quick to respond to emails. Overall, this property provides excellent value.

There is absolutely nothing to dislike about this property. It is clean, well cared for and very convenient. We would certainly book it again. Having said that, there are a couple of things to be aware of. The apartment we were in (#65) is on the top floor of a three level building. There is no elevator, though Chris was very kind in helping us with our luggage. The second issue is the depth of the bathtub. Its lovely and deep for soaking but climbing in and out would be a bit of a challenge for anyone who is a bit unsteady. (A grab bar would certainly be a useful addition). For these reasons I would not recommend Camstay for anyone with mobility issues.

Very nice place!

I was met by the host at the property and all the features of the place were explained clearly. The flat is well appointed and furnished and the linen and kitchen are excellent. The flat faces onto a cul de sac and so is very quiet.
