Bright Oxford Apartment

The property is spacious, clean and well sited near the centre of Oxford. Good public transport nearby - necessary because car entry / travel in the centre of Oxford is difficult! Journeys out of the city into Oxfordshire are easy to achieve as the apartment is next to a main route Northwards. Finally, Summertown itself is well worth visiting!

The property and location are good. The living area is roomy; the bedrooms are a bit cramped, but the beds and bedding are fine. It's easy to get into Oxford by public transit, and the available parking is a bonus. The major problem is the bathroom since it has inadequate ventilation and there is visible mould on the shower head holder. This means the room is damp and smelly. We were also disappointed that the travel crib and high chair had not been set up as we had requested. They were hidden away at the back of a cupboard under Christmas decorations. The high chair was filthy, and we finally found the padded base of the crib on top of a wardrobe on our last day. The owner was responsive to our requests for several missing items, but we felt that he should check that all the amenities are in place and in good shape before new renters arrive.

The apartment is situated in a very pleasant part of Oxford and is close to transport, supermarkets and restaurants. I enjoyed staying in the apartment which was very comfortable and large enough to have my son and two grandchildren join me for a few days. Being able to watch people playing tennis on the nearby courts was an added bonus.

We had a lovely weekend. The apartment was spotless and had comfy beds and sofas. It was well-equipped with all the essentials and more. The location was ideal. It's a 2-min walk to get the bus into town (which takes around 10 minutes). There are also several good restaurants nearby. The host, Danny, was very friendly and responsive to messages.We'll definitely stay here again when we revisit Oxford.

My elderly mother and I had a good stay at the apartment while visiting my child at Oxford U recently. The apartment is within easy walking distance of shops in Summertown, and a bus route to the centre of Oxford. The apartment is comfortable and well-equipped with all one needs. There is no fan in the bathroom, which was a big dark and musty, but otherwise tip-top. Walls in the building are thin, but the neighbours were all quiet so that was no problem. The owner responded extremely quickly to messages - the cleaners had not advised him of certain issues, but he addressed them promptly when we did so. I find the lock box system a bit complicated/stressful, especially when leaving to get a bus to the airport, but it works well as long as you have instructions in-hand. I would recommend a sheet of instructions on how to use appliances for future visitors, especially those of us from North America not as familiar with UK appliances (e.g., the washer/dryer in-onea, what kind of soap/detergent to use in the dishwasher, etc.) :-)
