Gute Lage

Stilvolles Reihenhaus, leider kein Balkon/Terasse, die Küchenausstattung dürfte etwas besser sein, aber es gibt eine Spülmaschine. Sehr gute ruhige Lage, man kommt zu Fuß in 20 min in die Innenstadt.

Clean, Quiet, Well appointed

Property was very clean, in a safe, quiet neighborhood close to bus routes. Upstairs sitting room with gorgeous view of meadow was a highlight. Property manager very responsive. Description might note the 2 sets of steep stairs would be daunting for someone with mobility issues. Very enjoyable stay; high recommendation.

Quiet street and close to downtown Oxford

We were very happy with our one-week stay here. It is not a long walk into Oxford, however it seems like a long walk home at the end of a long day. The solution is to get a bus pass, because the bus is only 2 short blocks away, and drops you right in the heart of town. The apartment was as presented, no surprises. The layout is a bit awkward and the stairs very steep if you have knee or hip problems, but if you are fit, not an issue. The top floor lounge is lovely, with views out to the field where people walk their dogs and birds gather. There are 2 pubs nearby, both away from the Oxford side, so less touristy and more “local”. The kitchen was well equipped. The owner loves very close and is approachable should you need anything.

About the host

Hosted by Kate from Short Let Space

The apartment is .75km south of the city centre in a popular residential street running parallel to the main Abingdon Road. The 15-minute walk to the city centre takes the visitor across the River Thames and up the beautiful street of St Aldate's, past the Town Hall and Christ Church College. There are also frequent buses along the Abingdon Road.
This area has excellent transport links. The Abingdon Road adjoins the Oxford ring road and the A34, with easy access to the M40. The apartment is therefore an excellent choice for visitors looking for access to South Oxfordshire's business and science parks, such as the Oxford Science Park, Milton Park, Culham Science Park, Abingdon, Didcot and Harwell.

The area, Grandpont, consists mainly of Victorian terraced houses like this one, and is very popular with young professional families. The adjacent Abingdon Road runs parallel to the River Thames, with lovely views of the college sports grounds and boathouses all along one side and delightful riverside walks. Punts and rowing boats can be hired at Folly Bridge, five minutes away. Hinksey Park, with an excellent outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts and a lake is one minute away at the end of Marlborough Road, and the water meadows which lie behind the apartment are also lovely for walking in.
Grandpont has plenty of essential shops for the self-catering visitor, such as small supermarkets, newsagents and a chemist, and a number of pubs. All the facilities of the city centre are very close.
