1. A Taste of Ely 4 BR Apartment, with Sauna

Ely

"Wonderful property! Excellent location, close to many cool shops, and a great coffee wine bar. Everything is as described, very very clean, well appointed and unexpectedly comfortable beds which is one thing I’m always concerned about when traveling. Check in and communication with the host was very easy and any/all responses were fast. We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Ely."
