Nice location, fully functional, definitely tight if you want to use the sofabed, my teen just slept on the couch closed up. Patio was really nice. No room to sit at the table in the living room. Not much space to move around the bed either- a large person might not even fit between the bed and the wall cupboards. Enjoyed our stay and would come again, but it’s better suited for 2 people than 3.

Great stay

Flat was perfect! Great location, easy walk to everything Oxford and to train & bus. Just as advertised, clean, and comfortable for 2 friends (1 using sofa bed that was also comfortable). Would stay again. Thanks.

Lovely little flat

This flat is small but had everything we needed. Good little kitchen and a comfortable bed. Didn't try the pullout bed. Things might be a bit tight for 4 people. Location is excellent with shops and sights all nearby. We are a couple of octogenarians so arriving with suitcases we were a bit shocked to find three flights of stairs to cart our stuff up to the flat. This wouldn't be an issue for younger folks. What might be for some was poor tv reception with lots of pixelation on some channels. Still, a nice flat.

Not the greatest experience

The apartment itself was pretty much a advertised, clean, nice patio. It had all the necessities in the kitchen. Checking in was a bit of a chore, finding first the locked access to the lock box, but not too bad. The apartment is up 4 flights of stairs, not easy with luggage. Our real complaint was the freezing nighttime temperatures were just coming and the heating was marginal at best. There were space heaters in the living room and bedroom, but one was broken. One had to lug the functioning one back and forth. When the hosts were apprised of the situation they were totally unresponsive.

Great Location

The flat was perfect for us. Great location and walk to everything including shops, pubs, cafes and history. As the listing mentions there are 42 steps to climb. Not a problem if young (er) and with a light case. The lockbox was obscured by overgrown shrubs and we spent ages walking around trying to find it. Needs a good trimming as would be impossible to the box locate in the dark. We did not receive the check-in details from VRBO in the time stated and had to contact the owner to provide them. Response times were not great. Flat was very clean, outdoor area is fabulous for evening drinks but needs a refresh as plants in pot are dead and handrail has wood rot. The bed was very comfortable but as with most brass beds it creaked a lot. The outdoor area adjoins a neighbouring property divided by a low fence. It wasn’t great when the neighbours sat outside smoking. Overall though, it is central and value for money. VRBO/Stayz need to improve their systems and communication.

Clean place, lovely outdoor space. Nothing much supplied besides some tea and coffee eg no slat and pepper or oil. A few things were not working or broken eg bathroom light, toilet seat, no plug for the bath.

The location of this property is perfect if you’re arriving by train, and it’s an easy walk to shopping or eating. It’s also close to a bus stop on Park End St. The only inconvenience is the extra walk past the unit to pick up the keys from a lock box, then a few minute walk back to the apartment. It’s situated off a Main Street on a footpath next to the river, and well away from traffic or other noise. As another reviewer mentioned, it’s on the 4th level, so there are lots of stairs to haul your luggage up. Overall, it’s clean and well maintained. The toilet seat was broken when we got there, but wasn’t an inconvenience. It had all the amenities listed in the listing, and the internet works well. We enjoyed our stay.
