Surprisingly roomy for 7 of us. Appreciated the comfortable decor and great updated kitchen. Host was very responsive and answered all questions regarding parking/transport and restaurants nearby.

Nothing- all great

The house has a nice feel to it with thick, clean carpets, nice hand soaps and a large kitchen. The house's location is great for bus routes into Oxford. The house is warm and clean. There is a large garden which will be lovely in the warmer months. Somebody has clearly thought about the house when renovating it.

The fans on the bathrooms and ensuites don't work. Not all the bedroom windows open. There are quite a lot of bits left from previous guests, eg spices, half eaten bags of crisps, sachets of coffee in the kitchen and half used bottles of things in the bathroom (which included a used shower loofah). These weren't clean and it wasn't really appropriate for them to be there. I can understand the cleaner leaving some of the bottles but this gave the impression of neglect and a lack of care. There was still somebody else's hair around some of the bottles in the bathroom for instance, and the half eaten crisps etc should have been spotted and binned. However the biggest problem is the sound of traffic which goes on much of the night. We adults were in the front and top bedrooms and three out of four of us had disrupted sleep on both nights due to the noise. The fourth is a self proclaimed heavy sleeper and great napper so no surprise they were fine! It really does roar past however, and you can feel the house move when a particularly heavy bus or lorry goes past. Motorbikes were revving on both nights too. The problem isn't helped with the bedroom windows being single glazed sash windows. In the front bedroom they aren't even flush with the frames leaving a cooler room and more exposure to the noise. There really does need to be a note from the host about the traffic noise as it's really disruptive.
