Great location, opposite the mall, lovely and warm and spacious accommodation. Good pre check in communication from host.
It was tricky getting there as the car park is off a little side entrance and not easily identifiable. There was no welcome note with WiFi password and parking permits were a little unclear.

I couldn’t get over how nice the house was. It was so clean and welcoming. All the little touches the host left us were lovely and the beds were incredibly comfy. We were a group of 4 adults and 1 child and it was perfect for us. It was peaceful and the downstairs was spacious so we could all to relax. It’s so close to the town centre too, so I would fully recommend this to anyone visiting.

Location
The house was clean but basic. Only one bedroom has wardrobes the other just has a bed and a beside table no storage. There was nowhere to hang coats downstairs. As stated clean but not a comfortable house.

The house was really nice, good layout, very clean and brilliantly located, easy walking distance to the town centre. Very nice and responsive host.
Side tables and bedside lamps would have made the bedrooms even more comfortable, also sidelamps in the living room so you could have more mellow lighting.

The location of the property was great the property itself was spacious and clean we would definitely stay again
There was a leak when you used the bath but it did not really affect our experience
7.0 / 10.0
The location was ideal for our stay - just a 5 minute walk into the shopping centre, which was ideal for some retail therapy, for visiting the theatre and looking around the town.
The traffic works in town confused the satnav, meaning that we had a 15 minute detour.

Convenient location near local path, shops and not too far from Oxford old town
Really good extra treats provided by the hosts and very helpful advice and flexibility.
Spacious bedrooms with shelves and other storage space for luggage
Really clear photos and instructions for access and parking
Not much
Noisy stairs and upstairs floor boards
Fiddly locks, one key didn’t work, but we did have enough keys that did work.
10.0 / 10.0
Clean and convenient. Quiet surrounds. Plenty of hot water and the extras ie tea, coffee etc plus wine were very acceptable. The fact that we could enter slightly earlier and leave cases on departure was excellent.
The seating in the living room could be more comfortable. One bedroom with loads of storage and one with no storage!

The location was perfect to visit Oxford attraction.
There were no mirrors in the bedroom. Only one bedroom had storage. There were no bedside lights and we didn't have a washing up bowl in the kitchen

Loved everything about the property - central location for tourism, close to all amenities, thoughtful surprises left which we enjoyed (thank you).
Neighbors properties on either side of apartment, prompted me to think we were at the wrong location and question our choice of property.

Location to Oxford
The property is extremely tired.
When we pulled up in the car the next door neighbour was in our reserved parking spot. I felt like not entering the property due to the next door neighbours house, it literally looks like a drug den!! Outside is an absolute eyesore with abandoned vehicles and even a boat! I felt very unsafe.
There is no instruction manual so I had to message the owner several times with questions. The back door is extremely difficult to lock. Old thread bare and stained bedding to make the sofa bed up with.
We would not recommend, spend a little bit more for a much nicer experience. Couldn’t wait to get out of the place!!

9.0 / 10.0
The location was convenient, close to the city centre and to the Westgate Shopping Centre. There were plenty of kitchen and bathroom supplies. Communication with the host was efficient and friendly. The house was clean and tidy. It was easy to retrieve the keys from the lockbox. All of the beds were very comfortable. It was kind of the host to leave us a bottle of wine. The house is close to the Thames, so it is very pleasant to take a walk around the local area and explore.
There was a small leak around the bath that needed mopping regularly. The floor is a bit creaky, and sound travels easily throughout the house to all of the other rooms (but this does not detract from how pleasant staying in the house was). The operation of some of the kitchen facilities, like the microwave/oven and combined washing machine/dryer, wasn't necessarily intuitive, but it is simple enough to look up the brand and find user manual PDFs to operate them.

Location was good. Parking was easy. Julia our contact was easy to communicate with and very helpful.
There was no tin opener provide, no washing up bowl as there was no plug for the kitchen sink no washing up liquid.
A beside lamp in one of the rooms would have been helpful. Carpets need cleaning. Outside needs a good tidy up
and the Council needs informing of the rat infestation outside.

Amazing location with good parking and nice kitchen en living room. Everything was very clean. There were two big bedrooms with small beds (<160cm wide) but we knew this upfront. Very friendly and flexible owner.
Due to the wooden ceiling and thin walls, the first floor was very poorly soundproofed. Noise from the bathroom carried into the bedrooms, and the two rooms as well as the hallway were also quite noisy.

The location is perfect. You cross the street and you're in the centre while still enjoying a 'suburb feel' surrounded by greenery. The shower is great, the rooms are a decent size, the kitchen is properly equipped even with glasses, flutes coffee machine. Host even made sure we had everything to make tea and coffee as well as cereal with milk and a few snacks too. Was also generous with clean towels.
The door wasn't locking properly but I'm sure it's something that will be taken care of immediately. Parking is situated perfectly in front of the house but needs to be booked beforehand. Just make sure it is booked for your stay. An ironing board would be amazing.

Nice location: 10-minute walk to railway station, opposite to John Lewis market hall and city center just crossing the market.
Very helpful Chinese landlord, gave us one bottle of wine as gift. Allow us to keep luggage longer with flexible check in and out time. The oven and microwave are very good, gas cooker is easier to control the temperature.
The TV is really good without extra paying - we watched la ratatouille together!
We used the kitchen to cook and it’s really nice - later equipping with a soup spoon would be better.
The property is nice and safe with tree view, can’t lock the garden so need to lock the door properly. It’s a decent place for family to live.
We are good here, the washing towel should have a longer one.
8.0 / 10.0
Proximity to the centre of Oxford, the car parking space, the bottle of wine upon arrival; a nice gesture.
Couldn't shut the skylight window in the bathroom.
Needs a mirror in at least one of the bedrooms.
A clothes rail and/or a small chest of drawers in second bedroom would be useful.
Better instructions on how to use the two parking permits.
The neighbour's untidy gardens! Clearly not the host's fault but not the best of views when looking out of bedroom windows.

Location is good. Host sent us the check-in instruction a day before. The carpark is a bit difficult to find. Although we check out on that day, the host still allow us to park the car till 3pm.
the house is a bit old and not clean enough

The outlook was dreadful. The gardens were overgrown and next door's garden was a health hazard, The accommodation is next to a busy road. The downstairs toilet was locked

The location was excellent. It allowed us to be in Oxford city Center within minutes. We also liked the amenities - the kitchen was well provided for and the shower was amazing.
The beds were awful. Really bad. Incredibly spongy and you heard the springs pinging anytime you moved. Possibly the worst bed I’ve slept on for a very very long time. The issue can be so easily resolved by going to IKEA and replacing the mattress with an inexpensive firm or medium firm mattress. I urge the proprietor to consider making this change.

El apartamento tiene una ubicación muy buena. En pocos minutos llegas caminando al centro. Al lado hay un centro comercial. La anfitriona fue muy amable e incluso nos dejó leche y cereales para el desayuno. También una botella de vino
Había muchas arañas en la casa y mosquitos. Nuestra estancia fue en días muy calurosos y en la casa no hay aire acondicionado así que pasamos muchísimo calor ya que las habitaciones están en el parte de arriba. Hace tanto calor como en una buhardilla. Aunque abras las ventanas no hay corriente. La casa en sí está bien pero muy cara para lo que realmente es y ofrece.
El acceso exterior muy descuidado con plantas secas y telarañas

Die Lage zur Stadt war gut. Alles zentral erreichbar. Super Bad mit extrem guten Wasserdruck und einer guten Mischbatterie. In England nicht selbstverständlich.
Das Haus war liebevoll gestaltet, aber die Häuschen links und rechts waren vernachlässigt oder Baustellen mit Gerümpel in den Gärten. Schade, denn die Hausbesitzer haben es fabelhaft gemacht.
