About this property
City-Centre Gem | Modern Top-Floor Retreat
Welcome to your peaceful top-floor retreat in the heart of Cambridge (CB1). Newly refurbished and thoughtfully designed, this modern studio offers complete privacy with no noise from above. Walk to restaurants, cafés, historic colleges, and the River Cam in minutes. Enjoy a fully equipped kitchen, spotless interiors, and the perfect balance of central location and quiet comfort.
The space
Step inside this bright and modern retreat, freshly refurbished to offer a spacious and comfortable stay. The living area is a standout feature, it is flooded with natural light throughout the day, making the whole room feel incredibly airy and welcoming. When you want to unwind, kick back and enjoy the 32-inch smart TV with streaming services like Netflix ready for you to use, all while connected to our fast WiFi, perfect for browsing or streaming without interruption.
The brand-new, fully functioning kitchen has everything you need to cook at home, including a cooker, air fryer, toaster, kettle, microwave, and even a washing machine for longer stays. When it’s time to relax, you’ll find the bedroom area features clever storage under the bed, perfect for keeping your belongings tucked away.
We’ve recently refurbished the bathroom and made it slightly bigger than before, allowing for more room to move. It is stocked with fresh towels and hotel-quality essentials including shampoo, conditioner, and body wash so you can shower and refresh just like you would at home. See
Guest access
You'll have the entire property to yourself, with secure and contactless check-in.
Upon arrival, you'll find four key boxes mounted on the wall next to the parking space. Simply locate the box clearly labelled number 5 the key will be waiting inside for you.
If you have any trouble during check-in, I'm just a message away.
Other things to note
A few quick reminders:
· No parties or events please
· Please be mindful of noise, especially late at night
· If you move any furniture during your stay, just pop it back before you leave
If you're unsure about anything, just ask. I want you to enjoy your stay while helping me look after the space for the next guest too.

Response from VrboOwner on 14 June 2026
Thank you so much for the lovely review!
I’m really pleased to hear that you and your cats enjoyed your stay and that the apartment had everything you needed. It’s great to know they made themselves at home watching the sunrise and the birds from the windowsill!
Thank you for highlighting the location, comfort, and pet-friendly setup. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I’d be more than happy to welcome you back anytime you need a place to stay in Cambridge.
Wishing you all the best with your renovations, and thank you again for choosing to stay with me.
