“The property struck me as a meticulously renovated house, blending seamlessly into its residential setting just off the high street; inside, modern decor and the welcome absence of carpets create a fresh, clean environment. I appreciated thoughtful touches like blackout blinds and the convenient proximity to a supermarket and pharmacy; ultimately, it's a comfortable and well-maintained base within easy reach of Oxford's attractions.”

Adequate stay but issues with housekeeping

poor housekeeping unreplaced toilet roll
The location proved convenient. I could easily access nearby amenities.
Housekeeping was below par. I found hair in the bathroom upon arrival. It remained there for my entire stay. The provided toilet roll was not replaced once it ran out. These details impacted my overall experience negatively.
