M. 15 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Extended Stay in Oxford We had to move out of our house in Buckinghamshire for three weeks while work was being done on the kitchen at our residence and chose this property for the first two weeks, largely on account of its location. While we were concerned about its size prior to arriving, the apartment turned out to be adequate to our needs. The ad did not make clear it is a located on the third floor of an apartment building, but we got used to climbing the stairs up to the apartment front door. Security was good. The apartment is more spacious than it looks in the photos and is located just a few minutes walk from the southern entrance to the Westgate Center, a 6-7 minute walk from the Oxford High street. There is a medium-sized Sainsbury's in the WestGate center so food shopping is available close by. Because were were staying such a long time we brought a lot of our own food and kitchen utensils, but the kitchen was very well equipped. The clothes washer is a washer/drier combo, which takes a long time to wash and (especially) to dry. But it’s pretty quiet and can be lived with. We’re both academics who needed to get work done during our stay. While it’s (again) not obvious from the pictures, we managed to reconfigure some of the furniture to set up two office spaces that worked well enough. The internet connection is slow, but adequate (mostly). The apartment comes with a parking space, but the space is not close to the building entrance.

Stayed 12 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Julia B. 2 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Home from Home Stay Already familiar with Oxford & location, almost a local. This was a relocation stay due to insurance work on my house in the next town. A refreshing change to live for a short while in the middle of the city centre, which is next to the main shops where you can buy your groceries, just browse, go out to eat, cinema, and visit all the tourist attractions or universities. The flat is in a quiet private street, not amongst the throng of the crowds which was fantastic. I particularly preferred this, along with having the shopping close to hand along with all the major bus routes around the corner (I need to use frequently). The property was clean and well equipped for my stay, and there was a glass of flowers to welcome me too. Only criticism I have is the fact that the website could do with updating as there was no longer a music system so I brought my radio. Catriona was very good to me when I needed to extend my stay and especially to organise an updated WiFi router as the internet was poor (it now works fine!) I was sad to leave, and my eyes opened to a different way of living. I'd even live there myself if it had a garden I could access. Perfect for me. Dropped a star because the website needs an update. ##### Julia B.
