Lovely property, surprisingly quiet considering it's in the centre of Oxford. Key collection was a bit of a challenge but everything fine after that

Beautiful apartment, Great location

The Hawking is a really lovely apartment centrally located in Oxford (you cam see the castle from your balcony). The apartment is very clean and nicely furnished. You could sleep 3 or 4 people easily. We had trouble with the hot water but called Tim and got it fixed. I would definitely stay here again.
