The story
A standout feature, looked after properly.
Where it started
A 2 bedroom penthouse in central Cambridge, let on a long let to an operator who ran it on Airbnb.
When their contract ended, the owner saw how well it had done and decided to keep it as a short let. He doesn’t live locally, so he asked us to run it.
What we changed
The rooftop hot tub is what people book it for, so keeping it perfect is the priority. We price the nights to reflect it and look after every detail.
- Rates set to reflect the hot tub, so every night earns more
- Hot tub maintenance and a full clean after every stay
- Guests checked in and shown how to use the home and the hot tub
- Photos that make the rooftop the star
What happened
Holidaymakers, couples marking anniversaries and special occasions, and some guests staying for months at a time. Over 12 months it has earned 22% more than its long let, after our fees.
The owner doesn’t need to do anything. We handle everything, and he is paid at the end of each month.
Look around
The whole penthouse, room by room.

In the owner's words
Perfect Booking provides an excellent service. I would highly recommend their management service.

What made it work
A hot tub on the roof, in the middle of Cambridge.
A rare combination that guests will pay more for, as long as it is always spotless and working.
A private hot tub with its own outdoor area, up on the roof.
Right in the middle of the city, close to the station.
The hot tub lets us charge more per night.
Hot tub maintenance and a full clean after every stay.
