Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This apartment makes the ideal base for a well-connected city break. Located in Summertown, you’ll find it's just a five-minute stroll to independent cafes, restaurants and shops, while the city centre is just a short cycle or bus ride away. It’s worth noting there is no private parking here and the rooms are compact, but this is a sweet option for couples and remote workers with the nice addition of a terrace. There is also a sofa bed for two guests and complimentary toiletries are available to use throughout your stay.
