Located in Cambridge's newest neighbourhood of Eddington, this sleek one-bedroom apartment has plenty of room to relax after a day of exploring, either on the comfy sofa or on the large bed. Cambridge is a cyclists' city, and given that you're only a couple of miles from the rambling streets and quaint waterways that crisscross the centre, we'd recommend a bike to get around – especially given Eddington's eco credentials. The flat is decorated in a soothing colour scheme of dusty pink and oceanic blues that fill you with a sense of calm. Downstairs, you'll find an on-site bar, restaurant, coffee shop and co-working space. If you're in town for work, Cambridge Business Park and other campuses are nearby. In addition, it's a short taxi, bike or bus into the historic centre and well-located for access to Stansted Airport, a thirty-five-minute drive away.

About Cambridge
Punting on the River Cam, dodging students as you cycle along historic lanes, and keeping off the pristine college lawns – a visit to Cambridge is like stepping into the pages of a book. Aside from its famous university rival, the city has no comparison, with castle-like colleges topped by towering spires at every turn, romantic bridges, and weeping willows dipping into the river. Look out in particular for the...
