I live in London with my wife and 2 daughters (aged 4 and 1). Right now, in addition to hosting our properties in Cornwall and Oxford, I am a stay at home dad. I have a close connection to Cornwall, where I was born and lived as a young child; and to Oxford where I grew up and my parents still live. Both areas are great, and I can't recommend them highly enough as places to visit (not that I'm biased!). Me and my family regularly stay at both properties, which I feel gives me bit of an edge in terms of providing all the amenities that anyone might need.

Oxford is a fantastically vibrant and exciting modern city characterised as much by the diversity of its inhabitants, institutions and industries as it is by the sheer wealth of history that exists here. Occupying a setting steeped in history, Oxford offers everything from world class museums, galleries and gardens to fabulous bars, restaurants and shops. Not forgetting of course, the world's second oldest university in continuous operation - since 1096, ranked 1st globally - Oxford University. The nearest Oxford College, St Hugh's, is less than 1 mile south of the apartment. The apartment is situated in the leafy North Oxford suburb of Summertown. Summertown is a attractive, affluent and forward thinking area a short bus (or cycle) ride north of the city centre. The neighbourhood is well served by a fine selection of coffee shops, restaurants, bars and boutique shops. South Parade - Summertown's premier street with a great selection of restaurants - is less than 500 meters from your front door! Banbury Road (Summertown High Street) is 5 minutes walk and has all the amenities you could need - 4 supermarkets, deli's, coffee shops, banks, restaurants and bars.
