It was comfortable, there was parking, and Aamir was very hospitable, friendly, and accommodating. He's an Oxford local and obviously passionate about the city and its stories. A very pleasant surprise to our trip!

    Perfect for a 1-2 night stay. The university roads and local markets were a 10 min walk from the property. It was located on a section of Botley Road that was calm and quiet in the evening/night. A sufficient spread of breakfast options in a cosy dining/kitchen area. The small touches (chocolates in the dining room, freshly boiled eggs and cheese, biscuits in the room, etc) made all the difference. Biplab was a lovely host - Thank you!
