Reviews

Jacinta - Mar 2025 - Short Let Space

We want to thank your team for taking such wonderful care of our home. When we first connected, we were in search of a new property management team after a disappointing experience that left our house in poor condition. Returning from America in 2023 to find our home in such a shabby state was incredibly stressful. This time, however, our return has been the complete opposite - and that’s all thanks to you. The house is clean, tidy, and clearly well looked after. My entire family is truly grateful for the care and attention you've given to our home.

Dave & Candace - May 2025 - Short Let Space

Short Lets Space in Oxford was a lucky find for us Americans who had just purchased a house in Oxford and needed someone to manage it as a rental during the months we were back in the States. We met Kelvin the founder of Short Lets Space when we stayed in one of his properties, and asked if he might be interested in managing our newly purchased terrace house on Aston Street in Oxford. With a very short time frame, Kelvin took on our property and had the place rented straightaway.

After just a few months back in Oregon, Covid happened, so our return to the UK was unavoidably delayed for over 2 years. Yet throughout those precarious times, the Short Lets team had our place fully occupied with high caliber tenants, at one point a team of immunologists working to develop the Covid vaccine with Oxford University spent several months in our house, as well as a famous performance artist.

During the five+ years we partnered with Short Let Space they did an excellent job of managing and promoting our property, keeping it in good shape with regular inspections and repairs as necessary, and continuously booked with few gaps. Their communication was commendable with easy to access online portals that kept us up to date. In all that time we had few if any problematic issues arise. Which all goes to say that we were more than satisfied with the letting and management services provided by Short Let Spaces in Oxford.

Nicolas - Oct 2023 - Short Let Space

Very well done to everyone and thank you very much for helping us achieve such a high level of readiness for our first guests. We love great living spaces, but putting in the hard yards alongside such a competent team has been a thrill

Amie - Apr 2024 - Short Let Space

SLS feels like a very personal service and everyone is very responsive. I have been really impressed with everyone I have dealt with & overall I am very happy with the services provided.

Sally - Mar 2025 - Short Let Space

I moved to Short Let Space after several attempts with other Airbnb Management companies. SLS seems to invest more time in training their housekeepers and have a system of property inspections which means my rental home is always looking how I want it.
