PARKING
Unfortunately there isn't parking on my premise however there is a paid car park just opposite the house (St. Clements car park). I would highly recommend 'JustPark' online for affordable, local, parking options.

There is Thornhill Park and Ride (£4 per day for parking, up to 3 days) which is near to J8/M40. Then just 15 minute bus journey (bus number 400) to the house in St Clements.

St. Clement's is considered to be the hub of Oxford. One way takes you to the City Centre and college grounds in minutes, simply take a stroll over Magdalen Bridge where you can also go punting, one of Oxford's unique experiences.

The other direction you've got South Park a 2 minute walk away, the largest park in Oxford where events take place throughout the year. Oxford Brookes University and JR Hospital are also nearby.

Parallel you have Cowley Road, lined with ethnic restaurants, music venues, traditional pubs, bars and an independent cinema - Ultimate Picture Palace.

Oxford City Centre Attractions
Westgate shopping centre - brand new complex with plenty of shops and on-top of the roof bars and restaurants. Oxford university - made up of a variety of institutions, including 38 constituent colleges and a full range of academic departments which are organised into four divisions. For any big Harry Potter fans, please make sure to visit The “Great Hall”, Christ Church College. Ashmolean Museum, Bodleian Library, Radcliffe Camera, St. Mary's Church and much, much more!

My property is walking distance to all of Oxford's main attractions however to go further afield there are many different buses you can catch from just outside the house.

Property was nicely updated with a nice small garden in the back. Bus literally comes right outside your door. Short walk to the heart of things, but there are several restaurants right across the street which are all great.

This property is in a great location! It had plenty of space for our family of 4 adults and two children. The bus from Heathrow dropped us off in front of the door. The backyard was a beautifully kept, quaint area away from the bustle of the street.

This property was the only one in Oxford that fit our needs, we were 5 adults needing 3 bedrooms. The location was convenient but at times challenging to get in or out of because there’s a bus stop by the front door. The first surprise was the emails from the property management asking us to put out the previous guest’s garbage because we were checking in on Wednesday. When we arrived in the evening, clearly someone had done it. Then there were the spiral staircases that were very narrow and steep. No one fell, but there were many conversations about the potential. Finally, there was nothing extra anywhere. In the kitchen there was one towel available and when we spilled water, that towel was wet and dirty. We had just enough bath towels for the stay but should we have needed an extra for some reason there were none. We’ve traveled and stayed in many such rentals and this stay was unique. It was comfortable but the above mentioned items did make the stay more challenging!

Overall we were very satisfied with the location of the property. It was a short walk to Magdalen Bridge and then central Oxford with the colleges and churches. The Angel and Greyhound pub was across the street and was very enjoyable. Sainsbury’s grocery was close by as well. Only once did we use a cab and that was to go to The Perch for a special dinner. The one drawback was getting to the bedrooms via the very steep and windy stairs. Anyone with advanced mobility problems would be better off elsewhere.

We had a wonderful stay at this location! I highly recommend it if you need to be close to the City Centre. The communication for everything was good, but I agree with other reviewers it can be confusing with so many responses from different people. Since a rental company is in charge of it and not the owner you’re always communicating with different people and getting multiple responses. When someone texts you it is impossible to reply and communicate that way. When reading the reviews we knew it would be loud due to being right on a busy street by a bus stop and that the narrow stairways to the upper floors might be an issue. Therefore, we planned ahead and packed a bag of earplugs and that worked fine. The owner also provided white noise devices but we never took the time to use them. I think they were google devices (?) but we don’t own anything like that at home so we just left them alone. The stairs were indeed narrow but they were fine. Just step on the wide parts, take your time and get another person to help you take your luggage upstairs if it’s heavy. This location was perfect for everything we needed to do, which included visiting Headington and getting to St. Cross College and the Sheldonian for graduation. The 3 bedrooms and two full baths allowed our family to have privacy when needed. I only slept in the third floor room and that bed made you roll to the middle a bit, but we made do since we wanted the 3rd floor all to ourselves with our own bathroom which is right outside that 3rd floor bedroom. The living room, kitchen and garden were wonderful places for family gatherings to chat and relax. We were grateful for the washer and hanging racks. The kitchen had everything we needed and I believe the basic surfaces and dishes were the cleanest VRBO experience we’ve had. Like all VRBO places we’ve been in, this needed a good spring cleaning for baseboards and walls, but I understand a cleaning service doesn't usually keep a rental as clean as I do my own house. The white walls could use a new coat of paint but again, I know most people don’t notice things like that most of the time. The downstairs shower was leaking upon our arrival but wasn’t an issue as the water remained in the shower when the door was closed. When alerted about the problem the office offered to fix it immediately but we said to wait until we were gone. We felt luck to find this place and would stay there again.

The stay would have been nice, but we were counting on having a clothes washer and dryer, as advertised. There was a photo of these in the ad. We had a four year old with us, and we needed to do laundry by the time we arrived. Unfortunately - there IS no clothes dryer. We had to resort to purchasing a clothesline and hanging our wet and damp clothing outside in the garden.

Truly a lovely place - the garden was fantastic. Great to have 3 proper bedrooms, my teens loved that they had their own rooms with desks and excellent wifi. Great location - an easy walk into Oxford proper and great restaurants close by. I would higly recommend and happily come back. Only downside is the stairs - lots of them and they are narrow. But if that is not a problem (wasn't for us) then you will love this apt.
