For theatre lovers, Cambridge Arts Theatre and the Cambridge Corn Exchange are also close by which offer a full program of plays, musicals, comedy and well-known live music acts. The national pastime of Cambridge and one of the best ways to see the city is to punt down the river. The brave do the stick-bit themselves but why not treat yourself and a book a gondolier-like guide to navigate the river Cam for you? And of course we cannot forget to mention the 31 colleges that form the University of Cambridge. The University buildings are stunning examples of medieval, renaissance, baroque and neoclassical architecture. Welcome to Cambridge! Getting Around: The property is right in the City centre so we recommend walking around or if you want to feel like a true 'Cantabrigian', hire a bicycle. Other Things to Note: You will have the whole property for yourselves during your stay. Let yourself in, at your convenience, with self check-in. Enjoy our professionally cleaned and maintained property, where fluffy pillows, fresh bed linen, towels and other necessities are all-provided. PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO REVIEW THE HOUSE RULES PRIOR TO BOOKING. We have a strict policy against parties or events of any kind on the premises. SAFETY & SECURITY: Please make sure you close and lock all the windows and doors when you are not in the property. If the property is found left unsecured (windows or doors open/unlocked) during your stay and/or at check-out, we retain the right to charge a penalty fee. A fee will also apply if the keys are not returned to the lockbox at check-out. Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation! The minimum age requirement is 21 years old (at least one guest must be at least 21 years old). Once a reservation is confirmed, the lead guest is required to fill in a short online check-in form and upload photos of an ID for ALL adults staying at the property before checking in. On the form you will need to provide: number of guests staying at the property, method of transport (if parking is required where applicable), reason for your trip (business or leisure), lead guest info (name, email, contact telephone number and address) and finally upload copies of IDs for all adults guests staying at the property. This is part of our Risk Assessment Policy and it is done for Health and Safety reasons (i.e. if a fire breaks out, we need to provide details of everyone staying at the property to the relevant authorities). We operate a self check in system and cannot meet our guests to check their IDs in person. Failure to do so may result in the reservation being cancelled and the cancellation policy will still apply. Just a friendly reminder for guests staying 10 nights or longer: it is essential you schedule either an interim housekeeping service or a linen change during your stay, depending on how long you'll be with us. Failure to do so might incur extra charges at check out if we found the property not in a similar state as we left it at your arrival or if the linen/ towels have been washed in the washing machine or are heavily soiled. DO NOT wash our linen & towels. They are hired, professionally laundered and ironed and cannot be washed in a domestic washing machine. A fee might apply for each item washed without our prior consent. Please make sure you close and lock all the windows and doors when you are not in the property. If the property is found left unsecured (windows or doors open/unlocked) during your stay and/or at check-out, we retain the right to charge a penalty fee. A fee will also apply if the keys are not returned to the lockbox at check-out. Thank you, we really appreciate your co-operation! Natasha & Ed - House of Luchini
