The place was really nice by Oxford standards, modern, refurbished smartly - but the bathroom flooded as the shower was open, with no drainage system. Also - though there was an exhaust - there was a smell of the drain that was quite ghastly.

This is a rip off. Super expensive (we should have stayed in the Randolph Hotel for a bit more money but 10x better experience). …

I stayed in the property called Urbane apartments owned by a guy called Tim Huxley. There were two bedrooms. The bedrooms were small but comfortable. The lounge was big and had all the necessary items including a coffee machine. …

5 star apartments with high spec finishes, conveniently located in the heart of Oxford. A very pleasurable weekend stay that beats staying in a hotel for me.

I thought I'd experience a short term apartment for a long weekend rather than a usual hotel stay and based on the high standard of these properties it is something that I will be doing more of in the future. These properties provide a home from home feeling that a hotel just cannot provide. Very impressed.
