    We really liked the place. Definitely needs some work - painting, cracks, tired furnishings, broken window - but overall a reasonable value and excellent location in a large and welcoming house that can accommodate a large group with charm.

  2. Excellent location and price. Adequate for short stay, but you get what you pay for.

    Positive: Excellent location in historic central Oxford, 5 min walk from all museums/shops, lovely cafes just around the corner. Keys secure and easily retrieved. Very large property. Negative: WiFi did not work, we expect the bill has not been paid - the tech gurus staying there could not fix it. Cleanliness was okay, but overall the house seemed a little tired looking, with wonky chairs and poorly done repairs visible. Flickering lights in some rooms. Thermostat unchangeable, heating on at full blast for the entire stay, which with warm weather resulted in an uncomfortable sleep. Many windows painted shut. Water temperatures for showers was unstable and tepid at best. All being said, the house is very cheap indeed for central Oxford. As we were travelling for work, we were barely in the accommodation, and so it was adequate for our limited needs.

    We had a great stay here. The location is brilliant in a lovely area and walkable to central Oxford. The house is huge and accommodated 2 families with ease. Do be aware that the decor is tired and some things are broken. Also the Wifi isn't great. This worked out OK for us as we were out and about a lot and had small kids and teenagers so needed a relaxed setting.

    Posizione della casa ottimo per Muoversi in Oxford. Spazi ampi e vivibili. Purtroppo riscaldamento non funzionava e soprattutto i bagni erano freddi. Non funzionava neanche Wi-Fi e si faticava con connessioni. Rusty comunque sempre disponibile e reattivo.

    Pros: Nice location and heat worked. Cons: The wifi DOES NOT work & the owners are aware of it. There is no parking anywhere bc you need a city permit. You will get a parking ticket if you try and park on the street. They have a room that has a closet with a water heater & the smell of toilet sewage REEKS so bad. The carpet is stained in yellow w/toilet sewage next to it. Absolutely disgusting & we immediately went to a hotel when we found out. To think my little children ran over those stains before we realized it. Shower handles fall off when trying to change temperature. Carpet is not attached to the stairs at one section & very dangerous. Slipped multiple times. No toiletries when we arrived. Water stains & cracks all over the walls. Complained about the issues but the management team didn’t fix anything. They only have one key for the whole house. Worse AirBnB we ever stayed at. Terrible that they knew about these issues & did nothing. The phrase ‘buyer beware’ comes to mind!!!!!

    As there are no bedrooms on the 1st and second floors, this could be a problem if anyone in the party had disability/ health issues. This was not an issue for our group. The price was very reasonable for the size of the house. Large kitchen and dinning room.

    Authentic town house in the middle of Jericho, walking distance to anywhere in Oxford city Centre. Very spacious and generous house, well equipped. We were only four, the house can host many more. The stove/oven is special, since it is an old one directly linked to the heating, thus not easy to regulate temperature and different in size to a normal stove, but we managed to prepare gratins or crumbles. It is an older house, which shows here and there, but we did not mind and it felt very much like at home, also because it was kept very tidy by the landlord and is well equipped, including books for adults and kids alike. For visitors arriving by car, we recommend to use the 3h-parking (no return within 3h) in the street opposite to unload upon arrival, and then park at the Redbridge P&R (15min by car, 35min return by bus), only 12£ for 72 hours (= what you pay for 2hrs in Oxford Centre, which is terrible (!!!) for cars without residence permit. Seacourt P&R currently not accessible.

    The property's location is convenient, as it's only a 10-15 minute walk to West Gate shopping centre. There's also a lovely Lebanese restaurant nearby. The house is spacious enough for ten people, and all the kitchen appliances work fine, except for the old oven, which had no oven trays. However, the house is quite old and requires refurbishment. The ceilings have leaking stains, the floors in some bedrooms make squeaky noises, and the gap between the wood panels is quite broad. The worst problem was that the WiFi didn't work from day one. Despite contacting the service team several times, I received no help during my entire stay. Even though the customer service team on the phone and in the system assured me that they would attend to the issue, it remained unresolved. Hope the team can get their Wifi problem solved, as the local mobile data reception was really bad.

    Positive: Estaba muy centrico y la casa era muy grande. SE llega enseguida a todos los sitios. La cocina es completa. Al principio en la cocina hacia frio pero en el resto de la casa el ambiente era muy agradable. Negative: La casa es muy antigua y necesita ser reformada y sobre todo, pintada. La cocina estaba completa pero no estaba muy limpia, al menos el suelo. Tardaron como un mes y medio en devolvernos la fianza y porque insistimos muchisimo. No me pareció muy correcto al margen de que gracias al cambio de moneda nos devolvieron menos dinero del que nos cargaron. Alquilamos un dia mas tarde una casa en Londres y no tuvimos que dejar ninguna señal.

  19. A disaster- what a terrible experience.

    Positive: Location Negative: I couldn’t have been more disappointed with my stay at 28 Richmond Road Oxford.  The advertising photos of the house do not represent the reality. This is obviously a student house. The cleanliness is no where near the ‘high standard’ mentioned in the contract. First of all, 1. Almost every carpet is filthy and stained. One of the stair carpets is loose and highly dangerous, it has been stapled down with a staple gun but most of the staples are loose and were lying dangerously on the stair. 2. Behind every bed and under every sofa it was disgustingly dirty. 3. The shower outlet on the top floor was so full of hair that it filled like a bath on our first shower.  4. All surfaces could only be described as grimey and greasy.  5. Three bin bags were provided but there were no outside bins to put them in when full. 6. The toaster didn’t work, there was only one roasting tray provided.  7. The large family bathroom on the 3rd floor had draining issues and always smelled of sewage. From the outset the internet didn’t work. After numerous telephone calls, someone came round at 7pm on day 2 with a dongle. This worked for 2 hours but then needed to be charged. The charging cable provided did not fit. It took another day before the correct cable was delivered. Therefore 3 days without internet or television which at Christmas is most disappointing. The most serious complaint is my 1 year old grandson finding a plastic bag of drugs (MDA or Ketamine) behind a book on the bookshelf, which could have been fatal if he had ingested it. On informing the Stay Beyond team they were unconcerned and told us to throw it in the bin!!! The bin that didn’t exit! This level of complete  incompetence and utter disregard for your tenants is totally unacceptable. I have used booking.com many times and have been very satisfied but this was another level! Not once have we even received an apology or suggestion of any compensation.

    Positive: Really liked the location near Jericho and a short walk to town and the quietness of the street. The house was nicely sized for our needs too. Beds very comfortable and we really liked the kitchen/ dining room and the living room. Negative: 4 chairs were broken in the dining room before we arrived. The internet was shocking ( as most guests were from Ireland the internet was critical) and because of the lack of internet we could not use the TV either. Tap caps fell off from the showers on the top floor ensuite and the main bedroom ensuite. We could have done with more than 1 key for all of us. Eventhough we had 3 Aga users in our group none of them could get the Aga in the house to work. The carpet was dirty, worn and loose in places. Visitors resident car parking permits would be a good idea to include in the house to be collected when you first arrive.

    David and Jane's place was very spacious and easy to get around and get into. They are using an agency called stay beyond so maybe the place was not maintained well. The shared shower was leaking to the bedroom downstairs the first night. there were clearly leakage issues in the house so one of our housemates could not sleep in the bedroom. stay beyond teams had come to temporarily fix the issue the day we reported it, but basically the share shower was not usable for the first two days. I asked for a partial refund but have yet to hear back. if maintained rigorously this house is wonderful otherwise but overall it was an inconvenience for four people that were sharing the bathroom and the main occupant of the bedroom downstairs.

    I should have read the previous reviews. The house was very tired and needed maintenance. The carpets were badly stained, numerous ceiling and walls had water stains from leaks. The toilet in the main bedroom was completely broken and has been for a while according to the last two reviews. When I contacted the hosts they did say they would send over someone to fix it but we were leaving that day. There was a bad drain smell in a few of the bathrooms and when a shower or bathroom tap was running a very loud noise echoed around through the pipework. The area in Jericho was lovely and the house is extremely close to everything. We really enjoyed our visit to Oxford. When we got home the whole family had a really good wash!

    My family stayed in this home in 2019 and enjoyed it. However, since then the home has not been well maintained, there are stains and plaster falling off walls, stains on carpets, carpets pulling off stairs causing a trip hazard. The home has lots of potential with good sized bedrooms, however be prepared to walk up and down up to 5 flights of stairs as each room including kitchen (lower ground) and living room (ground) and all bedrooms are on different floors. One of the bathrooms wasn’t working and we notified them but no one came to fix during our four night stay. Furniture is old and needs replacing. The bunk beds (which we didn’t use) looked unsafe as the upper bunk did not sit on the lower properly and with a slight movement could have broken. It is a beautiful home and It’s a shame to see this property neglected.

    This house urgently needs maintenance. The number of broken fixtures and fittings, including a dangerous loose stair carpet (my wife had a nasty fall), mean that I'm unable to give it a favourable review. Two showers were broken, three chairs were broken, one toilet didn't flush... Oxford is a wonderful city, but I will not consider staying at this house again.

    Looks great in photos but the reality of it is that it's in serious need of maintenance and has clearly been neglected over time. One room has plastering on the ceiling and wasn't painted. Another rooms en suite had the shower heads broken and shower doors hanging off. Television wasnt working which over Christmas was quite an important thing to not have. Most worryingly, the stairs up to one room were broken which meant I had slipped on my way up them and injured my ankle - if you have children there's just no way you'd let them anywhere near this room. The responses I got to any queries in the lead up were so vague and unhelpful. Service was terrible and finally the parking situation is just laughable. How hard can it be to sort out some visitor permits so guests can park outside the property? The suggestion for free parking doesn't exist and other options given are in some dodgy field outside of the city. Not enough word limit to say everything wrong here but just AVOID AT ALL COSTS

    Overall this place was beautiful and a great space for a big group. Unfortunately there were more issues than it may be worth. The most important is neglecting to mention in the post that there are a lot of stairs. Every single bedroom is on a different level with 5+ flights of stairs. Do not travel here with anyone who struggles with mobility as this was a huge issue in our group. Additionally many things did not function. The TV never turned on, the heat did not work properly (the thermostats do not read the correct temperature to properly control), the water pressure makes it impossible to use multiple of the showers. A shower door broke off on a guest. Multiple guests fell through chairs in the kitchen as they were completely broken. This place is a safety hazard. I would like to give the host the benefit of the doubt however all of this was reported within the first 24 hrs of checkin and we were told maintenance was on the way. No one showed up or checked in on us again.

    Positives: Good location, good size (only 4 of us), good value, convenient JustPark nearby. Negatives: Top room shower does not drain properly, shower door hanging off the rails, no shower head holder, toilet cistern flows continuously. Master en suite lights flash all the time. Yellow plastic slatted dining chairs are broken on the seats around the screws and painfully pinch clothing and legs. Judging from bins outside, the waste and recycling not operating properly. Lack of large mixing bowls, salad bowls, table mats. Wooden dining table has a groove around the top edges which traps crumbs and other detritus. Grooves should be cleaned after each rental. One bedroom has only a tiny bit of room between edge of double bed and the wall. Rudimentary wooden batten screwed across cat flap and all sealed with brown tape is an example of how property could do with some TLC throughout. Contradictory rules sent re noise after 10pm plus after 9pm and to be enforced by fines and security firm etc

    Good location, good size, good value,however, we told them about a shower that does not drain, the shower door is broken and hanging off the rails, the shower head holder does not exist and must be held all the time, the toilet cistern runs constantly wasting gallons of water. The master en suite has a dimmer switch to control old fashioned bulbs which as a consequence flash all the time. The handles of the shower become detached. The tv/satelite system never worked throughout our stay. The kitchen chairs are unsafe some with missing screws. No information about waste and recycling separation. Many of these items have been mentioned by previous renters but not fixed. I was in constant chase up mode and was ignored for the last 2 days of our 4 day stay. I would not recommend this property. I suspect that David and Jane do not care about the safety and comfort of their 'guests' , why should they if they have 21 listings that they control!!!!@

  56. Lovely space, great location ruined by woeful lack of self-catering equipment and lousy response.

    Positive: The location and layout of the house were ideal. Large kitchen and dining area had plenty of room for 12 of us. Bedrooms were comfortable. Large range cooker in the kitchen was great for keeping the place warm. Negative: Range cooker with its multiple ovens very unfamiliar for cooking with and there was no other oven. Not nearly enough cooking equipment for 12. We called the morning after we arrived about this and were told that some had been taken to another property (!!) but they would get us some more. Chased 24 hours later as nothing arrived. Finally received the stuff late evening of the 3rd night of our 4 night stay. No response to an e-mail of complaint regarding our inability to self-cater for 3/4 of our stay.

We weren't allowed to check in at the normal time as there had been a leak which needed to be fixed. We got into the property about 7pm. First thing we noticed was the lack of chairs - the house accommodates 10 people - there were only 8 chairs, and 3 of them were broken - one so badly it could not be sat on. The house has an AGA as an oven and it was very difficult to light and use. The dishwasher appears not to be working either. The house is advertised as 4 bathrooms - 3 bathrooms and a downstairs toilet. We were there for a family wedding and we had to manage us all getting ready with only one shower. The main shower leaked into one of the bedrooms (onto the bed) - this is the leak that should have been fixed before we arrived (and we still don't know whether it was subsequently). One of other showers had no hose connecting the shower to the shower head. Even in the bathroom with the working shower one of the knobs came off in your hand and it was more like standing under a tap than a shower. The general level of décor is far removed from the photos in the listing. The house is very tired looking with lots of chips in the woodwork/doors and walls just being grubby. The coffee table in the lounge has a hole in it and the TV doesn't work properly. The steps leading the front door were loose and broken. There was no folder with simple instructions on how to use appliances, nor any information about the rubbish/recycling arrangements. In fact in the recycling bin were things that would not be recycled - bottles of fruit juice/milk (with the liquid still in it), yoghurt pots with yoghurt still in it. What should have been a relaxing and enjoyable weekend became tiresome with all of the issues - almost laughable about what else could go wrong.

  58. Exactly what we wanted to attend family wedding.

    Positive: Location (central Oxford) excellent, with accommodation for family of 10. Negative: Aga for "show" - not practical to master over 4 nights. Therefore no oven. Instructions for use of dishwasher should be on show, not hidden in a box file in a bottom cupboard.

We had 3 houses booked for our wedding over a year in advance and the company cancelled 2 of them with less than a weeks notice and no alternatives. The check-in process is laborious with the photo IDs. I had to chase the company to get my damage deposit returned.

    I highly recommend this place to anyone travelling to Oxford. We had 10 people staying in the house and we all fit very comfortably. The location is perfect. There is a co-op at the end of the road and lots of amazing coffee shops and cafes. The Ashmolean is a 5 minutes walk which is right in the middle of town. The facilities in the house were great and the beds were so comfortable. The house was warm and it had everything you need and more (like hotel slippers and a handy phone). This was a wonderful holiday home.

    The house is clean and so conveniently located, such an easy walk into town. For clarity the room has four double bedrooms (three a good size, and one fairly small. In addition there is a small room with bunk beds (i.e. total of four bedrooms, max 10 people in bedrooms). A spiral staircase runs up from one of the good sized doubles, to a loft room - however this loft room is too low to sleep in, and at the time of our stay comprised just two dining chairs and a coffee table - which is a good use of the space, as really this room is not suitable for sleeping in. Having booked for 12 people, we were saved by the fact there are two double sofa beds in the mezzanine lounge... but this is open onto the kitchen atrium - so bear this in mind for privacy / chatter from the kitchen. There is one 'family' bathroom, and one downstairs toilet. Otherwise there are two en-suites... which leads to a bit of a squeeze on the family bathroom, or all sharing en-suites. The house is nicely decorated, however it would benefit from a lick of paint now. The communal kitchen space is just beautiful for sharing food, and the hosts were very helpful. When we arrived three light bulbs were not working, and there were only nine mugs - but the hosts were out within an hour of our arrival with more mugs and new bulbs. Communication before and after was great, couldn't fault.

    The kitchen in this house is really the gathering place. We had a group of 5 and spent our study time and household time when we had it around the kitchen table - which really did accommodate 6-8 easily. The rooms were comfortable, the house was clean, there was easy access to both Jericho and downtown. We would definitely stay again and this house has now set the bar for AirBnB's we stay in the future!

    Note my booking was changed to a different property as there was a problem with the other place. Benji did let us know in plenty of time and noted that we were being upgraded to a bigger place (6 rooms!) also in Jericho. I must admit I was concerned that the amenites would be different, but Benji delivered! The 6-bed was located on the canal and it was a pleasant walk into the city centre. There was also a parking space in front of the house which was a bonus! Fast wifi and a mobile to take with you during the stay. The place is family friendly but as it's on 4 floors (kitchen in ground, lounge & master suite in first, other bedrooms on 2nd and 3rd floors), watch the stairs for very young kids. This place is also business ready and I would recommend for those looking for alternative accommodation for Oxford business trips.

You can easily park at the park-and-ride sites - please note that the information about them is sometimes incorrect. There are no time limits on the sites run by Oxford City Council contrary to what some of the parking websites state ('maximum 24 hours').

    A wonderful place to stay in Oxford. Just two points to mention: first there is an issue with parking which is common to Oxford. Benji provided me with details of an app which was very helpful and I recommend that you look at this and book a place to park early. Second, we were a large family party and wanted to cook and eat in. The kitchen is wonderful with an Aga and separate hob but the kitchen equipment could be improved as at the time of our visit there was only the bare minimum of pots/ pans/ dishes/ knives. This will not be a problem for those who prefer to eat out and there are numerous places within walking distance.

The rooms are mostly small except for one large master bedroom but the kitchen is large, comfortable and decently equipped. Multiple bathrooms make the place suitable for groups of friends or a large family.

    Great location and met our needs as a big family for a central oxford wedding. However, felt a bit scruffy. No soap in upstairs bathrooms. Bannister from attic room had big gaps so unsafe for kids. No blindness in upstairs bathroom so exposed to neighbours when in the shower. Also blinds poor quality so quite literally the house was 'breathtakingly bright' as soon as the sun came up! Shower not working in en suite of master bedroom so only able to get scorching hot water and no cold mix. Previous guest speaker had turned off the Aga so took ages to get it warm again to cook! All in all, met our needs but could do with a bit more attention to detail by the hosts to improve it.

Parking can be little difficult but we found a place near the train station that was good value and only 10-15 minutes walk from the house. The location is excellent, just 5 minutes from the Ashmolean Museum and 10 minutes walk to the centre of town.
