    Sue and Tony were very kind and always helped with maps and routes. Unfortunately the accommodation in their house wasn’t so great.
    The ensuite room was uncomfortable for a long stay, small for 2 person, low roof with a lamp down the roof always bumping our heads, completely full of the family own stuff, everywhere: only one drawer for us, we had to leave the rest in our luggages for two weeks on the floor. The rest of the house was unfeasible, full of stuff, everywhere. When we arrived there was almost no centimetres to walk in and so was for the rest of our stay. I did mu own cleaning.
    They are great person, but maybe they should have hold out on our request of long stay.

    Hi Josephine
    Thank you for your comments. I'm sorry you felt that the accommodation was not up to your expectations. We would have appreciated you bringing these concerns up during your stay as opposed to after when we can't solve them. The house is described as a family house and it was unfortunate that at the time you came we were having work done - this meant therefore that there were some boxes in the corridors. We provided what we felt was sufficient space for two people but we could have provided more had you told us at the time. It was lovely to meet you and Aurora and hopefully see you some time in Oxford again.
    Sue and family

    I absolutely enjoyed staying with Sue! She was very welcoming, friendly, helpful, and her cooking was very good. She accomodated me as much as possible and I´m very grateful for the experience of staying at her place. I´d definitely come to stay with her and her family again.

    Sue's home has a good location -easy to go by busses. They have nice garden and space enough. They have lovely people around and the whole family is kind and energetic. We enjoy our staying and recommend all other visitors in Oxford.

    Esperienza positiva considerando la posizione della casa ad Eadington, vicina alla fermata dei bus che portano in centro, provvista di fermata dei bus che vanno e vengono dagli aereoporti , casa grande, camera graziosa e soprattutto famiglia accogliente e disponibile

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile.
