Midsummer Mews was a comfortable base of operations for our exploration of Cambridge. Really quite close (1.5 blocks) from the entrance to Midsummer Park and the riverside paths to town. There is a mall(!) halfway down the block, and a Waitrose very close by for excellent food. The apt complex is a bit like Fort Knox, but once you figure out the gate and door locks you’re good to go. Gate was a bit tricky at times to open from the inside, something to do with the release button not always unlocking the gate door. Helpful to have 2 (or more) people for egress. Apt was nicely appointed, could have been a bit cleaner in the corners, etc, but good enough. The bedroom is down some somewhat treacherous stairs, but thankfully we had no issues. Nice that there was a washer/dryer. Though when washer was running, pump could become overwhelmed and the shower wouldn’t drain effectively. We learned not to shower when the washer was running! The beauty of a subterranean bathroom…. Also a half-bath upstairs, though only one window opened in the whole place and just a crack, at that. We left the door open to mitigate the stuffiness. Otherwise, we were very happy at this location! Bit of a walk from the train station with our luggage, would’ve done better to grab a cab. Great communication with CityStay staff.
