Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
In a residential neighbourhood just outside of Oxford, this apartment offers a comfortable home-from-home with great connections to the centre. There’s parking here, so you can easily drive into the city, or hop on the bus just outside the apartment. The patio may not be the most inspired, though it’s a nice option for morning coffee. Similarly, the kitchen is a little dated, but it’s well-equipped for nights you feel like eating in. That said, you’ll find Headington's local pubs and cafes within walking distance.

Home truths
Two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living room. It's click-clack style, so it may be a bit small for two adults.
This is a ground-floor apartment in a house. Please respect the quiet hours after 10pm.
Although practical, we think the kitchen and bathroom are fairly simple in style. The patio also looks a little tired.
Please note that you will need to use your own login details to access the TV apps.
Your host provides a starter supply of essentials and toiletries. If you run out, the nearest supermarket for stocking up is a short stroll away.
Your host may be able to provide you with discounted offers on local restaurants – speak to your host for more information.
There's parking for two cars on the driveway.
