Shirely S, Milton, Cambridge, 2BR House, Newly Refurbished

The property was clean, well equipped and in great condition. It was close to Tesco and the area was very quiet.

Nothing. I would suggest putting up a hand rail up the stairs as I found it difficult to climb up (I have mobility issues).

Cleanliness. Lots of space

Lovely, clean, well-equipped place set in a quiet and friendly location with great local pubs and facilities. Very handy, too, for Park and Ride into Cambridge. Dil (owner) was responsive and helpful, very friendly, access to the property was straightforward and it’s really easy to find.

This is a semi-detached townhouse in a quiet suburban cul-de-sac, around a 15-20 minute drive from the centre of Cambridge. Parking is provided directly outside the property. There is a Tesco superstore a 5 minute drive away and a bus stop a 5 minute walk away, from which you can get into Cambridge in around 40 minutes. There are several pubs within a 10 minute walk and a very nice nearby nature reserve to walk or cycle around. Inside, everything looks to be newly refurbished to a high standard. There is a functional kitchen with full fridge and oven, plus a washer dryer. We also appreciated the provision of a clothes drying rack - we are used to air drying our clothes in Australia and this fits in well with the obvious dedication to minimising the climate impact that this property has (another big tick). The instructions for recycling could maybe be updated as they were a little confusing for a foreigner/out of towner, but the host responded to my queries promptly. The bedrooms upstairs are not massive, but provide double beds and space to hang clothes, so are adequate. The bathroom was nice and the shower had excellent pressure. The additional small WC on the ground floor was a bonus.

The stairs are quite steep and narrow. There really needs to be a hand rail added to ensure that they are safe. The fitted sheets seemed to be slightly too small for the beds - I had to remake the bed each morning as they had come untucked overnight, and I am not a particularly "active" sleeper. The fan in the bathroom was quite loud and didn't switch off for quite some time after the light was off, which may help to reduce mould but was annoying during the night.

Great communication and information from the host, easy to collect keys on arrival. House was clean and comfortable, with pretty much everything we needed. Comfortable beds and sofa with all the cooking tools you'd expect/need.

N/A

Just the job for the night after attending a wedding nearby. Plenty of room and easy access. Everything you could possibly need.

Nothing.
