Great place, lovely to have our own space

No bin bags, and the shower was not attached very well to the wall, falling down. Also I wish we could have had something to make tea or coffee.

Just a short bus ride from the city centre. This property is a perfect size and has all the facilities you would need. Super comfortable and cosy. Easy to check in and check out as well. The smart TV is great for having access to many movies and shows. The skylight is perfect for natural light in the morning. And the patio is a fantastic feature!

The accommodation could not have been better! It was indeed a bright and luxurious home, with all facilities provided. Very nice and clean! The host met me at the entrance when I arrived and provided the keys to me. He was also very quick to respond to and solve my queries. I arrived earlier than my stated check-in time, but he assured me it was no problem and met me when I reached. I was unable to lock the door properly (my own incompetence), but he was quick to guide me when I left a message. Much appreciated. The location is ideal - it is near Templars Square (with a Lidl and a halal KFC woohoo), and there are buses going to the city centre every 5 minutes or so.

I was happy with everything!

The check-in process was very easy and convenient — the key was prepared for us in a secure location, which made our arrival smooth and stress-free. The apartment is nicely furnished, with some updated elements that create a relatively comfortable atmosphere. One of the positives was the host’s responsiveness and kindness. When they realized we were a family of four and needed extra bedding for the children sleeping on the sofa, they arranged for additional bed sheets to be delivered within about 30 minutes, which we really appreciated.

Unfortunately, the apartment did not meet our expectations, especially considering that we booked it well in advance for a family of four (two adults and two children). The biggest issue was that the apartment is not really suitable for four guests. The sofa is not extendable and is too soft and uncomfortable for sleeping. We had clearly indicated in the booking that we were travelling as a family of four, so we would have expected to be informed in advance that the sleeping arrangements might not be suitable for two children. We only received this information one day before arrival, which was too late for us to make alternative arrangements. The apartment was also not prepared for four guests upon arrival. There were not enough towels and bed sheets available, although the host was responsive and arranged for additional ones to be brought shortly after we contacted them. Another concern was the cleanliness. Although some parts of the apartment appear recently renovated, the overall level of cleanliness was disappointing. The bathroom, kitchen, and some of the dishes were not cleaned to the standard we would expect, which made us feel uncomfortable during our stay. The apartment is small and suitable for two guests rather than a family of four. There is no proper dining table inside; the only option is a small living room table or the outdoor patio table. While having access to a patio is a nice idea, the outdoor space is quite limited and may not be very practical depending on the weather. The location was also not ideal for us. It is on the outskirts of Oxford, and we did not find the surrounding area particularly attractive or convenient compared to other parts of the city. Overall, while the host was kind and responsive, we would not recommend this apartment for families or groups of four guests.
