“Andrew and Liz are really nice people and we felt absolutely comfortable entrusting them with our house and cats. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at their house in Oxford and they were kind enough to lend us their town bikes which made getting around really easy.”

About our home
Our beautiful family home had a complete makeover in 2014. We are a 20 minute walk from the centre of Oxford and its University colleges and historic sites. Restaurants, shops and pubs are only a 5 minute walk. The back of the house looks out over the playing fields of St John's college. We have a Concep rower and exercise bike for those who want to stay fit

Andrew's reviews
As a host (3)“Andrew and Liz have a phantastic setting in Summertown, Oxford. It is very well linked by public buses with Central Oxford in a very nice environment and a beautiful garden. The house is huge and combines the coziness of a traditional victorian house with the modern comfort of the superb designed addition they have made to the kitchen creating a second living room. Above all, the Johnsons are very nice people, who really succeeded in making us feeling at home. We are very, very thankful! Hope we can come together soon again.”
“Staying at Liz and Andrew's home was a little like staying in a luxury boutique hotel, but without any other irritating guests (with the exception of my husband, obviously ;) It is the MOST lovely house in a perfect part of Oxford, close to bars and shops but overlooking a glorious cricket pitch and close enough to walk to Port Meadow with its canal, river and pubs. We had a truly perfect time and would highly recommend the house. It has been recently refurbished, the bathrooms are amazing, and all the china etc is top quality. A wonderful house and a great couple to swap with. ”
