AppleTree 1BR w/ Balcony & by Cambridge Station

Pictures and description misleading Positive: The location is practical and the apartment is quiet at night with no discernible train noise. Negative: The photos were of a different apartment and were highly misleading, ours represented a massive downgrade in both quality and style (see photos). We did not find a 'large double bed', which according to Booking.com must be at least 151cm wide. I would say ours was 140cm at most. The microwave looked flash but was missing the front feet, so the door caught on the worktop and things placed on the tray rolled about inside. Just as an example of the general feeling of staying here. We booked for two adults and two children, including a sofa bed and a free cot, both of which we had to build and make up ourselves (roughly 30 mins). The entrance hall has a nauseating smell of bins all the time. The apartment is very overheated.

Nice apartment, great location. Positive: The apartment was spacious. The facilities were generously provided such as tea bags, a tower fan which was very handy on humid days. The neighborhood is good and neatly kept. Great for small families. Negative: The sofa bed was not comfortable so we took turns. An instruction on how to handle the door handles to open and close would be very helpful for foreign travellers. We struggled with it, thinking the door lock had an issue. We had to go out urgently but couldnt leave with our luggage inside and open doors. Messaged and called the host but no response, then thanks to google we figured it out after a long wait. That was frustrating. Would have appreciated if she had asked later in the day at least if that was sorted. Then on we did have minor issues with hot water etc but didnt bother to check with the host. The stay is non refundable. I did mention while booking that if there is a change in schedule due to the war situation here then kindly consider. They agreed but when it actually happened and there was a delay by a day, it wasnt considered and lost a day money. So yes if all goes well and no unexpected surprises, overall we liked it and it is a good stay.
