River Cam place
Solid location, easy to walk in and out of Cambridge. Home is a bit dated and the basement is definitely musty, but the dehumidifiers help. Great to have three bathrooms, and nice little courtyard and roof top balcony. Felt private, and a small liquor mini mart is right next door which was convenient. Stairs are a bit steep and narrow for older people. Management company did not respond until shortly before trip, but was responsive after that point. Overall was good experience and definitely would recommend.

Problems at the Cam house
We were there 5 nights. Friday to the following Wednesday. More than half the time there we had no hot water or heating. Repair man came twice but the fix did not solve the problem for long.. Communication with the office on Sunday was ignored and eventually they sent an email. When the repairman came on the last day of our stay we were inconvenienced for 4+ hours and for 2+ he had to turn the water off. The living room furniture very tired looking and one couch stained. The mattress on the one queen bed poor. The front door had a major sticking problem. To open from the outside, you had to kick it. From the inside your had to do a lot of pulling with the result it caused a malfunction of the lock.. We were locked in because of resulting problems. One of the guests managed to get the lock open. The repair guy who was there on Sunday cut the door jamb to give the door more clearance. There are no written instructions regarding proper use of dishwasher, clothes washer and heating system, etc. We were fortunate the weather was mild because we did not have heating when the boiler did not work. We have rented many vacation houses around the world and a nice extra is information about local eating places, places of interest and kids parks, etc. The overall maintenance of the house is poor. The fact the counter under the boiler was always wet due to the boiler leaking problem should have been dealt with. The sticking front door not fixed. Toilet roll holder broken. Coffee table wonky. When one goes on holiday, you hope to be free of house maintenance problems. These boiler problems caused ongoing anxiety. Couldn’t take showers. On the positive side, the kitchen was well equipped, there was ample room for 6 people without using the basement. The wifi worked well. The location is Cambridge is the most positive aspect of the house and the off street parking.

VERY DISAPPOINTING
This property has been totally neglected from the outside in. We have contacted Stay Beyond numerous times and have yet to hear from their "management". If you've made a reservation to stay in this house at #27 Chesterton, Cambridge I strongly recommend you read this list first. We were infested with fruit flies due to the rotting fruit in the completely overgrown garden. You could not sit outside. The front steps are loose and dangerous. The ceiling in the hallway is stained from a leak, and the plaster is coming down. Much of the ceilings throughout the house show signs of water damage. The radiator in the living room has leaked and caused the wood floor to rot and turn black. The wood floor by the kitchen sink has also rotted. The living room furniture is stained and dirty. The kitchen is poorly equipped. The oven dials have no temperature marks and wasn't working at all. The dishwasher rails are missing on the lower basket. The bathroom downstairs had bugs, and the toilet was leaking. The shower wasn't useable. The two bedrooms on the lower level are not useable due to damp odor/mold. So we had to double up on the other four bedrooms. The second floor bathroom has black mold on the floorboards. The first floor bathroom toilet doesn't clear completely. All the woodwork in the house is dirty, with peeling paint in many places. The floors are carpets are filthy. This house is being totally misrepresented. There are only 4 useable bedrooms not 6. It isn't clean, and hasn't been maintained. It's two weeks since we left and we still haven't heard from the "management".

Great location but should sleep 8+2 not 12+2 (basement not habitable)
Firstly this house was in a great location, overlooking the river and Jesus Green and only a 5 minute walk into town with all the great bars, restaurants, shops and historic buildings of Cambridge. Parking at the front was a bonus and you can just about fit two small/medium cars on the drive if done carefully! 12 of us rented the house for 2/3 nights and unfortunately there was a slight damp smell as you walked into the hall from the front door. The rooms were all furnished very nicely but the front room did have a broken outer glass pane but wasn't an issue due to secondary glazing. The kitchen although had quite a few cooking essentials it didn't have any oven trays! We had to contact the guests that were arriving later, to bring our own trays so we could cook properly. Also there wasn't enough chairs for 12, 6 in kitchen but only 5 in the dining room. We had to use a garden chair as an extra. The chairs weren't particularly clean either. The upstairs bedrooms were light, airy and furnished well. The beds were very comfy and the linens were good too. The 2 upstairs bathrooms were tired but the shower power was very good although sometimes getting the right temperature was tricky. Unfortunately the big let down were the basement rooms. They look lovely and are well furnished the damp smell was overwelming and in my opinion, just not habitable. The downstairs shower room is not up to standard either. The shower didn't drain away and the toilet seat was broken and caused one of our guests to fall off the toilet. Again this room not good enough to be used. Overall for the price this was a good property to rent in the centre of Cambridge but it should be advertised as 4 bedrooms sleeping 8 + 2 in lounge not 12 + 2.

Excellent location, good space in house, if a little tired
Excellent location with only a short walk into Cambridge. House has great space, we were 8 adults and 4 under tens and it was not cramped. House needs some TLC, broken toilet seat and window, some plug sockets not working, damp stains, basement rooms strong damp smell and a fruit fly problem. Kitchen lacking some basics and welcome email said toiletries, tea and coffee provided which they weren’t unless you count 5 x hair conditioners and 2 sachets of coffee for 14 people? The bedrooms make up for some of this as they were nice sizes with big comfy beds and bedding and nice towels. Showers were good but hot water wasn’t enough for all of us in the morning. We enjoyed our stay but the house could definitely do with some TLC to make peoples stay on par with other houses we have rented in a similar price bracket.

An Enjoyable Weekend in Cambridge
House warm and comfortable, Well equipped kitchen. Bathrooms were less than adequate, the one in the basement having a macerating loo and a shower with little water pressure and the one on the first floor had a split in the wooden toilet seat which regularly pinched our thighs. This definitely wants changing. Otherwise a warm and comfortable house

Great location and the size of the house was just what we wanted. However..
The property was what we wanted, beds comfortable, plenty of space, Kitchen adequately equipped.However, we felt the property is in need of some TLC eg the garden is over grown, decoration a bit worn, down stairs smelt damp and the shower there was impossible to use as was alternating scolding hot and cold. No instructions for the heating and thermastat needing new batteries. No instructions for tv and could only get films not BBC etc. . Microwave did not work. The main difficulty was last night when the front door lock failed. We had to stand out in the rain for about 45 mins in the end. Eventually 2 men came to mend it but couldn't. We had to leave the house unlocked this morning when we left. Its best quality is its location and for this we have given 4 stars.

Great house accommodating 12 of us. Fantastic location by Jesus Green and easy walk to city centre
Unfortunately there was a missing window pane on the first floor window which was laying broken on flat roof outside This worried us security wise and caused a very cold draught throughout the first floor. We reported this and were told someone would come out but no one did. Also my son cut his foot on a screw sticking out the wrong way on one of the stairs. Apart from this the accommodation was great for us.
