Overview

Upper Fisher Row puts you close to the places that make Oxford such an enjoyable city to live in. This three-storey, terrace house sits beside a waterway, a few minutes’ walk from Oxford railway station and the city centre. You can set out on foot for the colleges, university departments, shops, restaurants and museums, then return to a home with space to cook, eat and spend time together.

The ground floor brings the living and dining room together with a separate kitchen. Settle into the sofa or easy chair, watch TV, or gather around the dining table, which seats four. The kitchen has an electric oven, gas hob, dishwasher and washer-dryer, making it practical for both shorter visits and longer stays. Outside, a small private rear garden has decking and a patio.

On the first floor, the main bedroom has a double bed and an en-suite shower room. You will also find a bathroom with a bath on this floor. Upstairs, a single bedroom and a bedroom with a king-sized bed complete the sleeping accommodation. The house sleeps up to five guests and has Wi-Fi and gas central heating.

Step outside for canal-side walks, or reach Jericho in around 15 minutes on foot by the canal or road. Its independent shops, cafés, restaurants and cinema offer another side of Oxford beyond the city centre. You can also walk to the River Thames in around 15 minutes. This is a base for experiencing Oxford on foot, whether you are visiting the university, working in the city or spending time with family. The property has no parking, and its central location can bring some noise, particularly at weekends.

Leslie - May 2026 - Air B&B

Best part of this property is the location — very convenient and walkable to the train station, bus station, and central Oxford. You can’t get much better than that! It’s right on the canal, which is charming.

The host gave helpful instructions for everything. There were a few issues, but the host was very responsive and fixed what they could.

The interior was clean. The kitchen well equipped with the basics and beds were comfortable, which is always our top priority. We couldn’t use the outdoor space because it was very overgrown, but the weather was too hot to enjoy it anyhow. There is a couch and comfortable chair, plus 4 kitchen chairs and a table in the main living space. There was plenty of room for our family of 4. (A quick note for anyone with mobility issues — there are a lot of stairs.)

This is the 2nd time we’ve stayed at this host’s properties in Oxford, and would be happy to choose them again.

Jenny - May 2026 - Air B&B

We had a lovely stay thank you. This property is very convenient for the city centre and the railway station.

Chenoa - Josh & Tom - Apr 2026 - Short Let Space

Thanks again for another great year. I believe this is year 3 in this apartment and we hope to be back next year. It is a really clean, comfortable and convenient location. Thanks for everything!

Matthias - Apr 2026 - Air B&B

Thank you again – we had a wonderful time in your excellent property!

Kellen - Jan 2026 - VRBO

Perfect for our family visit to Oxford. The flat was clean and well stocked, we appreciated being able to do some meals at home and the in-unit laundry and drying racks. It was easy to drag our bags from the bus and train stations over to the flat, and easy walking distance to most that Oxford has to offer, with convenient access to bus routes for everything else. Highly recommend!

Cristina - Dec 2025 - Short Let Space

Two keys would have been better than one for our family to move more independently in and out the house.
Having had a studio table in the small room would have been helpfull aswell. Everything was smooth and eficient in the Booking process. Very kind staff and perfect location to stay at Oxford. Thank you so much! We will be back !

Malcolm - Dec 2025 - Booking.com

Upper Fisher Row was comfortable and convenient. The location was ideal for access to the city and the river in front was a bonus. Well supplied kitchen .

Nicholas - Nov 2025 - Air B&B

Excellent location and really comfortable, well equiped house. Very responsive and helpful host too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

Sherri - Oct 2025 - Air B&B

Great place to stay while visiting Oxford. Located close to train station, bus station and central Oxford. We enjoyed having the extra space for our week stay.

Takashi - Sep 2025 - Booking.com

It was very good. It was close to the center of Oxford city, so it was convenient for me to return to my room between work at Oxford University and look around the city or have dinner there. It’s also close to Oxford station, which was convenient for the return journey. It was a three-story townhouse with comfortable bedrooms.

Ricardo - Sep 2025 - Air B&B

Excellent and in line with expectations.

Fraser - Sep 2025 - Air B&B

Great location close to town and train station. Property was clean and as described.

Wang - Jul 2025 - Air B&B

Smooth check-in, smooth communication, clean and tidy room, convenient location.

Pierre - Jul 2025 - VRBO

Unbeatable location! My family, including myself, my spouse, my mother-in-law, and our two children under 5 really enjoyed staying in this house for our 1 week trip to Oxford.Best Parts:- Location is unbeatable, especially for us. My partner was studying abroad for the week at the Said Business school which the home is incredibly close to. Being a 5m walk from the train station for day trips and 10m walk to the city center was also excellent. Lastly, the location next to the canal was overall a pleasant and quiet place to have as our home base. 10/10 location.- Getting checked in/out was easy and seamless.- Rooms were large enough to fit all of us. Kitchen was big enough for the amount we used it and most of the tools we needed were there. Dishwasher and laundry worked and came in handy. Wifi was reliable. Shower pressure was excellent and water was sufficiently hot.Not so good, but not deal breakers:- The week we went temperatures were in the mid 80s Fahrenheit and the home has no A/C. I’m not going to count that against the home though because I expect most places that aren’t hotels in England don’t really have A/C. It was uncomfortable for sure so it is something to be aware of but again, that’s going to be a problem everywhere.- House is on the older side which means some low roofs, steep winding stairs, and stickier windows. Again, not deal-breakers since I fully expect most homes in the area likely have the exact same problems. Just something to be cognizant of.

Thank you for your lovely and detailed review - we’re so pleased to hear the location worked so well for your family and that you enjoyed your stay overall. As mentioned in the listing, the property is a Victorian home, and while full of character, we do understand that some of its original features can present minor challenges. The hot weather did take us all by surprise and we’re sorry if it caused any discomfort during your stay. We really appreciate your thoughtful feedback and hope to welcome you again in the future!

Zhe - Jun 2025 - Air B&B

Really good stay

Marlene - Jun 2025 - Air B&B

My family and I had very positive and lovely stay! The location was PERFECT!! Festive time of the year with many Graduations ( which is why we came!) so it was busy but a “happy” busy no issues with any loud noises etc just people out late and music! The Airbnb was comfortable and easy to keep clean. Beds comfortable. How recommend for couples and families!

Avital - May 2025 - Air B&B

Our stay in this house was very comfortable. Great location and easy for us to get everywhere. The house had everything we needed.

John - Mar 2025 - Air B&B

Had a great stay here – on the canal, excellent location for seeing Oxford.

Nancy - Mar 2025 - Air B&B

Our family had a wonderful stay in Oxford. The location was perfect—on a quiet street just a few minutes’ walk from the train station in one direction, and the city center in the other. We would definitely stay here again!

Junia - Feb 2025 - VRBO

Perfect stay for a business trip! We had an amazing stay at this property! The house is stunning – spacious, well-maintained, and spotless. Everything was clean and thoughtfully arranged, making it a perfect place to relax and unwind. The location is fantastic, with easy access to local attractions, restaurants, and shops. It truly felt like a home away from home. We would definitely recommend this place and hope to return in the future!

Evangelia - Nov 2024 - Air B&B

Nice home in a great location near the canal. Close to shops and restaurants, as well as the bus and train station. Home was clean and neat. Very responsive host and clear instructions provided.

Adam - Nov 2024 - Air B&B

Slightly impersonal but very nice small house with view on the canal over the front (small) street. Easy walking distance to city centre. Practical and nicely equipped kitchen.

Boontee - Oct 2024 - Booking.com
Nicole - Oct 2024 - Air B&B

Charming house in a great location. Everything was as described and the host was very responsive.

Patricia - Jul 2024 - VRBO

Gorgeous flat in the centre of Oxford, wonderful facilities team!

I stayed here for a week with a colleague and can’t say enough about what a fantastic flat this was. We had breakfast nearly every morning in the gorgeous back garden. The flat was very clean with nice amenities. Beds were comfortable. Showers were warm with great water pressure. Two bedrooms had a view of the canal, and a third of the back garden. Flat was spacious with a good kitchen. Stairs were a bit steep and twisty, with both toilets on the middle floor. The location couldn’t be better, just steps from George Street restaurants, and a quick walk to the major sites and museums, shopping, and university offices. Very convenient to bus station and train. We did lose internet our last day. The rental company was extremely responsive, helpful, and kind, answering quickly and sending someone over despite the later hour on a Friday. In the end, it was an issue for the broadband company, but they even went out to get sim cards to help us get by for the final evening. The flat had everything we needed, from kitchen gear to fans on some warm days. I will absolutely return and highly recommend to others coming to town.

Matthew - Jun 2024 - VRBO

Wonderful property and location! Great place.

Michelle - Jun 2024 - Air B&B

Lovely home close to everything in Oxford. They were very easy to communicate with and we felt incredibly comfortable during our stay. Hope to be back in the future!

Alexis - May 2024 - Air B&B

Nice and clean

Robert - May 2024 - Booking.com

Comfortable, Centrally Located Oxford Townhouse! The apartment was exactly as described and as per the photos. Compact room sizes but very comfortable, warm and well appointed. The beds and bedding were also extremely comfortable. Tea, coffee, biscuits were available on arrival and were most welcome. The apartment was well located for Oxford’s many attractions and with many excellent eateries and pubs within a few minutes walk. Tranquil outlook over the Thames. Peaceful, despite its central location. Interactions with the property management team were efficient and extremely helpful. The housekeeping team were excellent with good attention to detail. The check-in instructions were simple and straightforward. I would recommend this property and the management team to all.

Karen - Feb 2024 - VRBO

My second time renting this property as it is quite close to my Oxford family member’s flat and very convenient to the grocery and all of the city as well. To improve comfort the living area needs more comfortable seating with foot rests. The provided towels did not include wash cloths this time which would be helpful. But we made do and enjoyed the stay. It’s a nicely appointed property and I look forward to staying there again.

Cynthia - Sep 2023 - Booking.com
Dave - Sep 2023 - Booking.com

Great location, good response from property manager. Response from the property manager was quick regarding the freezer and the issue was promptly addressed.
We couldn’t use the freezer as it kept on freezing up, and drawers could not be opened even after the property manager sent someone to sort out the issue.

Very conveniently located, the house was great for our family stay in Oxford.

Heidi - Aug 2023 - Air B&B

Great location. Would stay here again.

Thomas - Jul 2023 - Air B&B

Nice place to stay close to the main streets of Oxford. Some noise at night from the neighbours and restaurants close by, but not too bad. Warm in the upstairs bedrooms in summer. Lounge is quite small for a 3 bedroom place but the photos show this. Overall a good stay, though.

Nsimm - Apr 2023 - Booking.com

Typical narrow terraced house, modernly equipped with everything you need to feel at home. The beds were very comfortable, the bathrooms functional, the wifi went all the way to the upper rooms. The heating is modernly controlled. The care went smoothly by email.

The steep stairs must be noted and the windows are partially covered with clear film (probably against the cold).

Marcelo - Dec 2022 - Booking.com

The location is very good. The house met our expectation. We were a family of 05. We were very pleased.

Karen - Dec 2022 - VRBO

Comfortable and had all we needed. Very convenient to everything.

Kim - Oct 2022 - Air B&B

A well located flat with very comfortable beds. A real English apartment, clean, and comfortable.

Claude - Oct 2022 - Air B&B

very well located apartment but the living rooms and rooms are quite small and the garden is not usable due to the proximity of the neighbors. professional welcome because it is not the owner who manages the rental

Karen - Sep 2022 - Air B&B

We enjoyed our week at this air bnb. Such a convenient location. Walking distance to everywhere! Very comfortable house. All the mod cons. Easy to prepare meals. Great communication with short let space! Easy check in! Lots of stairs to bedrooms and bath!
