North Oxford
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (66 reviews)
"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!"

"This place was amazing. It has been lovingly converted into accommodation with so much attention to detail that you don’t want to leave. The additional Christmas decorations were super cute and appreciated as well as the full service kitchen (with coffee and milk), games and fabulous top floor 360°window to watch the sunrise/sunset, wildlife etc. Highly recommend a stay here.
