Modern, Chic 2BR Townhouse in Central Oxford - Pass the Keys
It's hard to believe that this chic, spacious 2 bedroom townhouse was once the old railway cottage, built in 1916 to house the workers building the English railway.
In 2017 we renovated our home to an exceptional standard introducing a brand new kitchen, heated floors, skylights and a bi-folding door.
Perfectly located just a short walk from the Historic City Centre and College Grounds and under a 5 minute walk to Oxford Station.
This property is managed by a professional co-host of Airbnb. Services include: Professional Cleaning / Hotel Quality Linen / Fresh Towels / Easy Self Check In / 247 Guest Support

Great stay
Great place to stay if visiting Oxford. Short walking distance to train,
I have tons of pictures of the shower drain full of hair, of filth on the stairs and hairballs on the sheets it was so bad and despite my calls for help to get it taken care of no one assisted me. By 9:30pm I realized there was no way I was going to be able to sleep so I rented a hotel room. VRBO/or this other company would NOT refund my money so my vacation cost
Me
Double. The next day they kept calling wanting to know if I would like them to come back? Way too late and not enough effort. I just don't understand?
Nicely decorated and modern look 2-bed 1-bath property about a 15-minute walk outside the hustle and bustle of central Oxford. The neighborhood is safe and there are a few good restaurants nearby. Definitely recommend.

Comfortable and clean
Loved our stay in Oxford and the accommodations were perfectly comfortable. Only suggestion would be for extra linens/ blankets and a kitchen towel.
