A stay in Cambridge will make you wonder if the time has indeed stood still for centuries in this city. Its ancient buildings, picturesque riverside, greenery, cobbled passageways, and historic marketplace seem unchanged. A walk down its narrow street will make you wonder if you can still feel the aura of the “great minds” that have probably crossed the same paths during the yesteryears. Its exquisite architecture, beautiful museums, inspirational art galleries, quirky festivals, and educated strata are sure to leave you spellbound.

While you decide whether to watch a theatrical or unwind in a pub or row on the river, we’ve put together a list of the best Airbnb vacation rentals in Cambridge, UK, for your convenience.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on February 01, 2024.

1. Charming apartment with an outdoor seating area (from USD 89)

The space may be small, but it’s furnished with the basic amenities that can comfortably accommodate up to two people, ideal for couples. The bedroom area has a cozy double bed and a seating area with a smart television, which is the perfect setup for a movie marathon.

The kitchenette and the dining area share the same space, so it’ll be convenient to prepare meals and set up the table for a romantic date night. You can also choose to have your little date night in the outdoor seating area that overlooks a shared garden.

If you’re not in the mood to cook, you only have to venture outside because there are bars and restaurants nearby. You can even bring your car here because there’s an off-road parking space available for you.

2. Elegant apartment right on Victoria Street (from USD 194)

The Duke Apartment is the appropriate name for this rental apartment because it does look like a duke would live in it. After all, the whole place is furnished with elegant fixtures like chandeliers and gold-gilded mirrors.

The bedroom holds two beds, and in the adjoining sitting room, you can find a double sofa bed that can accommodate one adult or two children. Meanwhile, the bathroom has a tub, and you can find snug robes and slippers, and organic soaps inside. You’ll also have a wonderful time cooking meals in the kitchen — with its spacious counter area, cupboards, stove, and oven.

Since this rental is located on Victoria Street, it’s literally right in the heart of Cambridge. For that reason, well-known local attractions like King’s Chapel are within walking distance.

3. City center studio perfect for solo travelers (from USD 108)

Located on Warkworth Street, this studio apartment is the perfect choice for solo travelers. It’s even more appealing for students since the rental is located near the colleges. It features a cozy bedroom and a well-furnished kitchen, and it even has a laundry room inside. If you want to contact your friends and family outside of the city, you can use the telephone that lets you dial local and national calls for free.

Since this place is located in central Cambridge, parking is a challenge. Luckily, there are two off-road free parking spots that you can reserve. If these spots are taken, there’s a paid car park nearby.

Do you want to stay in a rental unit that makes you feel like you’re on a countryside getaway even though you’re actually in Cambridge? If so, you should check out this particular rental.

Designed and decorated like a woodsy cabin, this property features a light and airy space furnished with a cozy bed that sleeps up to two guests, a shower room with an electric shower and a heated towel rail, and a mini-kitchen where you can prepare light meals. The place also has free WiFi.

Because of its whimsical design, you might want to just stay inside. But if you want to explore Cambridge, you can stroll towards the city center or find a train station to bring you to an exciting destination.

I am a member of the Institute of Tourist Guiding and have been working as a guide in Cambridge for seven years. I really love showing visitors around this beautiful, historic city with its University buildings, student traditions and wide open spaces. There is always something going on which makes it such an exciting place to visit! When not working, I enjoy exploring the museums and markets of Cambridge, playing tennis and badminton, and travelling abroad. I am looking forward to meeting you and providing you with an interesting, informative and fun-filled tour of Cambridge! Have a look at my suggested tours or, if you prefer, I would be very happy to customize a tour specially for you.

I retell the history of Cambridge through stories. Stories of some well-known (Isaac Newton), some not (John Harington) men and women who have influenced many fields of human activity, be it education, politics, sport, science, art, religion, etc. I do walking tours in Spanish (my native language) and also in English. I am allowed to guide inside several colleges of Cambridge University.

5. Contemporary rental unit with a walled courtyard garden (from USD 145)

Decorated with a contemporary theme in mind, this one-bedroom apartment features a bright and colorful space. The ground floor follows an open floor plan with the fully equipped kitchen on one side and the living room on the other. When you go up the spiral staircase by the corner, you’ll find the charming mezzanine bedroom and tiled bathroom. The decorations are so lovely you can’t resist the urge to take pictures.

If you want to unwind, you can lounge on the sofa in the living room and watch something on the television. Or you can also stay in the private courtyard garden, probably eating a light snack or reading your book. Exploring Cambridge is also a great option since city attractions and transportation centers are nearby.

There’s no rhyme or reason to the interior design of this particular rental.
