About this property
Modern, Chic 2BR Townhouse in Central Oxford - Pass the Keys
It's hard to believe that this chic, spacious 2 bedroom townhouse was once the old railway cottage, built in 1916 to house the workers building the English railway.
In 2017 we renovated our home to an exceptional standard introducing a brand new kitchen, heated floors, skylights and a bi-folding door.
Perfectly located just a short walk from the Historic City Centre and College Grounds and under a 5 minute walk to Oxford Station.
This property is managed by a professional co-host of Airbnb. Services include: Professional Cleaning / Hotel Quality Linen / Fresh Towels / Easy Self Check In / 247 Guest Support
Originally owned by the Church of England the old railway cottage was built in 1916 to house the workers building the English railway. In 2017 this house was beautifully renovated to an exceptional standard creating a modern spacious townhouse.

Convenient location just outside the core of Oxford. Nice walking trails nearby. The kitchen was well equipped and very functional (just watch your head on the low hanging vent hood). It was also quiet (notwithstanding the construction across the street and down the block) and the beds were clean and comfortable (even if the linens didn’t quite fit the beds).
I found communications a bit confusing with different interlocutors: Expedia, ‘Pass the Keys’, and ‘Bruce’. This made tracking this step of our multi city itinerary a bit more complicated.
Also I found it a bit surprising to be asked to water the Jasmine tree in the backyard to keep peace with the neighbours. We did follow through on the instructions to roll the garbage bins from the backyard through the house for morning collection out front.
No air conditioning made the warm early summer evenings uncomfortable. The couch was worn and stained, so we avoided using the living room.
Bathroom ventilation was very poor and showed with peeling plaster and mold. The bathroom window hinge was broken so we were reluctant to open it. Still small flies seemed to
find their way in through the ineffective exhaust vent and accumulated in the bathtub.
We were provided with four small ‘motel’ soaps and shampoos for the three of us, so we purchased our own shower wash and hand soap. We were also left two partial rolls of tp so we also purchased these supplies make it through the week.
Very nice townhome on a quiet street in Oxford, a short walk from the rail station. Communication was excellent. There’s a nice, small outdoor garden area. No AC but fans in each room were well appreciated.
Great place to stay in Oxford! Convenient to everything—easy walk to city center and train station. We brought our two year old and the outdoor space was perfect for him. We didn’t use the kitchen but it appeared well stocked. Would stay here again!
Nicely decorated and modern look 2-bed 1-bath property about a 15-minute walk outside the hustle and bustle of central Oxford. The neighborhood is safe and there are a few good restaurants nearby. Definitely recommend.
I have tons of pictures of the shower drain full of hair, of filth on the stairs and hairballs on the sheets it was so bad and despite my calls for help to get it taken care of no one assisted me. By 9:30pm I realized there was no way I was going to be able to sleep so I rented a hotel room. VRBO/or this other company would NOT refund my money so my vacation cost
Me
Double. The next day they kept calling wanting to know if I would like them to come back? Way too late and not enough effort. I just don't understand?
