Peaceful single room with garden hideaway in East Oxford

Welcome to my home in East Oxford where you will find this quiet, single room. This cozy, east facing room (approx 8m2) is perfect for solo travelers looking for a peaceful stay in a residential area within walking distance to independent restaurants, pubs, cafes and shops at Magdalen Road (5 minute walk) and Cowley Road (15 minute walk). The bed can be pulled out and turned into a double - so couples are welcome - it will fill out the room so there isn't much space to move around in the room itself when used as a double.

Enjoy a comfortable bed, desk space and access to a shared bathroom, kitchen, dining and living room. Oxford's historic city centre is either a lovely 30 minute stroll along the river Thames or 10 to 15 minutes by bus (depending on traffic, bus stop is a 5 minute walk).

Availability can change at the last minute - so my calendar isn't always up to date. Even if dates show up as not available - just pop me a message and check - there's always a chance of the room becoming available at the last minute even if the calendar shows it as not available.

The room

- The room faces East, meaning you will wake up with the morning sun coming through your window (there are blinds so you can make it as dark as you wish).
- There is a single bed, a desk with either a proper office chair or an Ercol wooden chair (it's optional to have the office chair in the room).
- The upper two shelves in the cupboard will be empty so you can use those to store your clothes and personal items.
- There are sockets - including USB and I can provide UK adapters for those travelling from abroad.

The house
- You have access to WiFi and can make full use of coffee and tea making facilities and you can prepare breakfast, lunch or light meals in the shared kitchen.
- Feel free to sit at the table in the dining room or to relax in front of the TV or snuggle up with a good book on the sofa near our wood burner.
- If the weather allows it - have your morning coffee or tea in the cosy, private back garden before you head out and start your day.
