Hi, my home is in a great situation for Oxford, I am very central to the city centre a 15 min walk and on the main bus route to London and main airports only 2min to bus stop.
Oxford is a beautiful city with lots of things to do and see, many colleges and museums also we have two rivers where you can take a trip on a pleasure steamer or go punting which is a lot of fun. London, Bath , Windsor and the Cotswolds and are all in easy reach. We live opposite a large green park which is ideal for jogging , football and picnics The park is also used for activities such as Party in the park Firework display Music festival. We live near Cowley Road which has night clubs and many restaurants and pubs it is very cosmopolitan in July they have a big carnival.
I have hosted guest and students since 1991and have enjoyed meeting people from all over the world and all walks of life and hope to for many more years to come. I have no pets the house is quiet and ideal if you have studying to do. I am always happy to advise and assist in any way I can to make your stay as happy as possible and full of interesting things to do.
Best wishes,
Jane

I had the chance to live with Miss Jane for 6 months. She was extraordinary and incredibly helpful in my integration into this country and this magical city. She is welcoming, kind and open to discussion at any time. I am someone who is very close to my family and very complicated to live with. She has become like my second grandmother and I hope to come back to spend time with her. Thanks for everything my bloody Jane (her favorite expression is “bloody hell”)

Jane is a great host! She's very friendly, smiles and takes great care of her guests! What's more, her house is very clean. She's a person you can trust!
Thanks again Jane!October 2023
I lived with Jane for 1 month and I have only good things to say about her!
A really loving, caring, happy and active person who I'll never forget, that's for sure! I really enjoyed her company, all the conversations and laughs we had.
She was always willing to help and give any kind of advice.
The house was always clean and the room was perfect with a really comfortable bed. Breakfast was really good and dinners were absolutely delicious!
In front of the house there is a big and beautiful park, the supermarket is really close and the city centre is only a 15/20-minute walk away (less than 5 minutes by bus).
Thank you for the amazing month!Host reply

I had the opportunity to live in Jane's house for almost two months! and the truth is that I felt better than at home; Jane was always willing to help me and serve in everything I needed with the best attitude and charisma; I had a great single room and could have the best spaces in the house as the garden, the kitchen, the leaving room with an incredible view of the park in front of the house, but the best of all was the specialized service that my hosts gave me, Breakfast and dinners were delicious!! she will not miss any detail to make you feel great with delicious fresh fruits, water, coffee, or tea at your fingertips. I feel infinitely grateful and happy to have lived there with the best Oxford family, always ready to provide the best care and friendship. I'm still missing all of this, and I hope to return to have the opportunity to spend a good time in the wonderful Oxford. Last but not least, the house is always clean.

I was at Jane's house for a month and it was an amazing experience. The house is very clean, cozy, spacious, and pleasant. It has a beautiful garden and is very close to the city center. Jane is a great host, lovely, friendly, and always helped me with whatever I needed. Also, Jane is very good at cooking and I was always surprised by dinner. The breakfast is very good too and I had many options fruit, bread, cereal, milk, jelly, coffee, and Nutella.
I practiced my English with her and learned a lot. When I made a mistake she said to me and taught me. The good memories of that month with Jane stayed with me.
I strongly recommend staying at her home.
