    The pressure of the smaller shower could have been slightly better. The TV could be placed higher up the wall, as it was a bit too low to see when lying in bed. Both were minor issues, however, and the Netflix account was a nice touch!

    Scholar's Loft exceeded our expectations in the best way. Arrival was stress-free and easy. The loft itself had pretty much everything we could have needed and was designed gorgeously. The hosts were very helpful in getting back to me and it was clear they had made an effort to provide guests with good recommendations and advice.

    Traffic noise/vibrations with lorry's driving past. The windows were fairly well insulated, but would have been more of an issue in the summer. No breakfast places nearby - consider providing continental breakfast and some fresh milk.

    Beautifully decorated, immaculate and very comfortable. Convenient for attending event at Newnham College. Good value compared to hotels. Would also be convenient if bringing a car.

    Male host very frosty about parking, a welcome to would have been good rarther than just move your car - had tried to park as required. Suggest you designet a spot if you don't want people to park in front of your garage.

    Very warm and cosy - beautifully designed and layed out.

    Although it didn't disturb us too much (we were tired from walking around the city and slept pretty well), there is some traffic noise as the loft is on a busy main road. The convenience of the location, free parking and beautiful apartment more than made up for it though.

    Very well appointed loft apartment with parking. City centre a pleasant mile or so's stroll away. Comfy bed, , lovely bathroom, spacious, clean and stylish. Complimentary tea and coffee appreciated. We very much enjoyed our stay.

    it was such an amazing little apartment, we were in awe from the moment we got there, it was warm and welcoming, incredibly clean and beautifully decorated. The people who own the property are lovely and gave us all the information we could possibly need including a recommendation for a great kebab. It’s also a great distance from town, we chose to walk to and from the centre rather than get a taxi even in winter.

    The bathroom was cold and the towel rail didn't heat up. There is quite a bit of traffic noise from the A603. Pricey for single occupancy.

    Excellent location for Coe Fen and a bit further to city centre. Location easily accessed and parking available. Keys in a keypad. Loft is spacious and comfortable. There are a number of vintage pieces dotted round including a bicycle on the wall. The loft is warm and the kitchen well equipped. Desk provides a well lit working space and there are numerous sockets including usb ports. Bed a little lumpy but linen crisp and clean.

    The traffic noise could be considerable, particularly at rush hour, and the bed shook whenever a larger vehicle passed by, though it is very quiet at night.

    Cute, well appointed loft apartment with good access to central Cambridge. The decor was charming and the bed comfortable. The kitchen has most everything you need to cook simple meals, and the place was spotless.

    The only downside was proximity to the busy road which may be a positive for others as it was easily accessible.

    Loved the apartment. It was clean, comfortable, well decorated and in a great location for me.
