Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

Right by the River Thames, this apartment puts central Oxford at your fingertips. Whether you're admiring the iconic spires, popping in and out of the local shops, or enjoying a picnic in Christ Church Meadow (just opposite the building), you couldn't ask for a more convenient location. Pocket-sized it may be, the compact layout works well for a couple or solo traveller. It doesn't lack style or thoughtful touches – a guest Netflix account, capsules for the Nespresso machine, and Bose speakers are just some of the included extras. The kitchen isn't the biggest, but that's no bother as plenty of restaurants are nearby. There's even underground parking – although you'll definitely prefer to explore on foot.

Home truths

    This home isn't suitable for children and infants.

    One allocated parking spot is provided in the apartment's underground garage. That said, we suggest leaving your car in the garage during your stay and exploring on foot, as everything is within walking distance.

    While the windows provide decent soundproofing when closed, opening them means you'll likely hear nearby traffic noise.

    The lift is accessible from the underground car park, but there are still several steps outside to the communal entrance before you reach the lift.

    The kitchenette is very tiny. It may suit smaller bites, but you'll find plenty of restaurants, cafes, and pubs nearby.

About Oxford

Nicknamed the ‘City of Dreaming Spires’ by poet Matthew Arnold due to its thirty-eight honey-coloured colleges, Oxford is awash with tradition, culture and its prestigious University. Whether you’re streaming down the beautiful River Cherwell on a canal boat, discovering the city’s medieval roots or dipping in and out of designer shops, the world-famous edifices gloriously consume just about every crack, crevice and cobbled avenue.
