Pros (+) Shower was actually hot in the morning, water pressure was good Cozy enough, radiators were on long enough to get the room to a comfortable temperature in the evening. Easy walk to downtown Cambridge, walkable to Cambridge science park.
Cons (-) No front desk, nowhere to leave luggage. Had to call to find out how to check in to an un-staffed accommodation.

Wooden chair, no sofa or armchair (which wouldn't fit into such a tiny space anyway). TV about the size ...
