I stayed here via AirBnB. Unfortunately, I missed the window to leave a review on that app. So this is for Christian Loan for my stay Sept 5th-9th. The room was spotless, as were the bedding, towels & all areas & equipment. The bed was comfortable. The walls aren't brilliantly thick, so one can hear doors & the going up and down stairs, but this was usually mornings and evenings, so nothing that was too hectic. I enjoyed my stay here. The location is brilliant and works great for most things you want to visit in Oxford. If you don't mind a very pleasant 20 min walk to the city center,there is a super close bus stop, if not. Also, if you are going to London, it's a short walk to St clements for the two bus companies that shuttle back & forth from Oxford to London. I highly recommend this place. Thanks for all your timely responses Christian. I would def book with you again. Queue the happy dance!!!!

The house is right on the main street, so it is noisy. Since the bathroom unfortunately smells unpleasant, we have to keep the windows open.The room is really super small and there is no trash can.There is a small refrigerator, a microwave and a two-cup kettle.Otherwise the bed is really small for two people and unfortunately very uncomfortable. The walls are very thin and you can hear a lot from the neighbors.We are within walking distance of the city and have all sorts of restaurants and supermarkets nearby. Nevertheless, I would not book another stay here.

Ideal place for city visit, too many messages prior to visit made the whole process time consuming and ment the entry codes were buried among all the other messages, some of the electric locks temperamental, having to book parking separately was also time consuming, but we enjoyed Oxford, so worthwhile

Very basic ‘contactless’ room. The beds and mattresses feel thin and shaky. The ceilings and walls are apparently paper-thin, so you hear neighbours stomping around. On top of that, our room was at the side of the street, and traffic was very loud.Some of these things are hard or impossible to solve, but some poor design choices such as curtains that are so long they end up on the bed and a light switch for the bathroom that is outside the bathroom, can be fixed more easily.Other improvements could be a better shower and adding some decorative elements so the experience feels less basic and bland.
