About this property

Bright, modern Oxford apartment with parking - minutes from bars and restaurants

What's great about this refined apartment is that it's ideally located, close to the centre of Summertown, while being in a very quiet development - set back 60 meters from the main road (Woodstock Road).

Inside, the apartment is recently decorated and recarpeted, with a tasteful wooden floor in the spacious and bright sitting/dining room. The sitting room is bright, with south facing french windows. The room has a dining table for 6 people, 2 sofas, a coffee table and a dresser unit with lots of storage space. If you feel like chilling out after a day of exploring, there is a new 40" Sony TV with Netflix and Amazon Instant Video subscriptions and a Blu-ray player. Music is also taken care of with a bluetooth enabled mini hi-fi.

The kitchen is well equipped with a dishwasher, washing/drying machine, fridge/freezer, kettle, toaster, filter coffee machine and electric oven and hobs. There is also a good selection of plates, crockery, pots and pans.

The bedrooms all overlook the Summertown tennis courts (available for your use - see Neighbourhood description), which is a wonderful sight to wake up to. The master bedroom contains a double bed and fitted wardrobe. A second double room also has a double bed, wardrobe and chest of drawers. The third bedroom has a comfortable single bed, wardrobe and chest of drawers.

Being on the first floor (not ground level), the apartment feels very secure and also benefits from an intercom door entry system.

Outside, the apartment sits in a quiet, pleasant development just off Woodstock Road in the leafy and stylish Oxford suburb of Summertown. The development is surrounded by attractive well maintained gardens with benches and green areas to enjoy the outside space. Adjacent to the development is an excellent children's play area, basketball and tennis courts.

All the amenities you could need are nearby, with Summertown's fashionable bars and restaurants along with grocery stores and other local essentials less than 5 minutes walk from the apartment.
The apartment is heated and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board. Housekeeping is available on request.

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.

A great place to stay

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.

Fabulous apartment

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.

Comfortable and well-equipped apartment north of central 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.) :-)

An Oxford Christmas

My family stayed here for a week over the Christmas holiday. We buzzed through London in four days and were thrilled to be able to slow down and relax in Oxford. The apartment provided space for all of us to spread out...very important for my two teenagers. It was quiet, clean, and comfortable. And, it was well located. We were not in the bustle of the City Centre, though buses were nearby and downtown was only 10 minutes away. We could even walk if the weather was nice. Also, shopping in Summertown was very convenient, so we did not feel isolated when we returned to the flat for the evening. The kitchen had everything we needed for the occasional meals at home. And, we really appreciated the washing machine and a good shower. A very good family option. Many thanks to Danny for the hospitality.

Prime Location

Excellent location for exploring Oxford area being about a 30 minute walk to Oxford city center. Summertown shops and restaurants just around corner (we highly recommend Mamma Mia’s!). The apartment was clean and orderly and in a very quiet location set back from the main (Woodstock) road. Beds were comfortable but being used to a queen we found the double bed a bit narrow. The shower was excellent but the toilet flush was a bit temperamental and the bathroom sink had VERY low water pressure. Kitchen was well equipped and Dan even left us tea, coffee, milk and bread which was a lovely surprise! We were not big fans of the induction stove but others may be used to this (hot plate turns off if you maneuver the pan - a safety feature I believe but we found it frustrating to cook on). All in all we had a very pleasant and comfortable stay. Absolutely the best feature here was the free parking in a designated garage - parking in Oxford is non existent! Also thank you Dan for the visitor’s parking passes which allowed my brother and sister in law to visit from London for a day. We visited the Ashmolean which I also highly recommend.

Perfect loc

We loved our stay in Oxford. We were there for 3 weeks and felt very at home. Danny is beyond kind and responsive. This flat was great for my family, the kitchen is well stocked, there is a table for 6 people and a hutch. There's even a little desk for your computer. Having a washer/dryer is a life saver. The bathroom is a very nice size and the shower is large, which isn't our typical VRBO experience in the UK and Europe. Plenty of room to move around and wash your hair without banging your elbows (if you know, you know). The beds are smaller than we are used to (which we knew when booking), but VERY comfortable mattresses. Bedrooms are equipped with hampers and wardrobes/closets. The living room is spacious. There were 3 of us and we had a couple of friends over to visit and we all fit comfortably. The living room has great sofas, probably the most comfortable I've had at a VRBO. The TV is set up with all the streaming services we could ever want. The location is SUPER convenient. The street is right off Woodstock with is a main street into Oxford. The bus stop is just at the end of the driveway from the flat. We had a weekly bus pass and you can get to town in about 5 minutes by bus. Some days we just walked because it's only 2 miles to central Oxford. Around the corner and down the street is the main stretch of Summertown with tons of shops and restaurants. I highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

City break.

Easy location for getting into Oxford, good restaurants a few minutes walk away. Kitchen and bathroom have both clearly been refreshed, but decor tired in rest of flat. Comfortable beds. We felt our car was too large for the suggested parking places and may have caused obstruction, but we parked easily 2 roads away, and were out during the day. We enjoyed a day and a half in Oxford and a drive into the Cotswolds. Parking in Westgate Centre was excellent. Super meal at Quad in the covered courtyard.

Great location, very helpful and responsive owner

This was the perfect little flat for visiting Oxford. Located just on the bus line, about a 15 minute trip into City Center. Also within walking distance of Summertown for shopping and a few restaurants. Well-equipped small kitchen, bathroom apparently recently upgraded with a terrific shower. Comfortable beds. Sofas are a bit low to the ground (tall husband was somewhat uncomfortable). Danny was very responsive whenever I had a question. Flat was clean and quiet. Set in a cul-de-sac so the traffic noise was minimized. Would rent again.

A lovely light flat in central location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Danny's lovely flat! The flat is exactly as pictured on the website and is thoughtfully furnished with everything one could need. The kitchen is really well stocked - one could do lots of cooking although we preferred to eat out! The location is ideal for central Oxford ( about 5 minutes bus ride to town) and within easy walking distance of the Summertown shops and bus stops and cafés. Danny was extremely helpful and responded to all of my queries very quickly. The information given about the flat is very complete. The only slight glitch was the key safe by the front door which we found hard to open. We managed though and all was well! I would definitely recommend this flat and owner! Thank you Danny!
