1 NIght in Cambridge
The house was indeed tranquil and very clean. It included parking and was relatively convenient for our planned outing in Cambridge and our trip to the airport the next morning. The room was quite small, but the shared bathroom was convenient and clean. Before arriving, we received an email from the property informing us that check-in time would be 2 pm, but when we arrived a few minutes before 4 pm, we were informed that we could not enter until 4 (ultimately we got in a few minutes after 4).

Google, Hotels.com, and a number of other sites all displayed availability here at 9:45PM. I booked a room immediately, received a confirmation email, and arrived at the property around 10:10.
