Airbnb is always a great option, especially if you can find somewhere central. We recommend Jericho, a really adorable neighborhood where we're holding our welcome reception. It's also in walking distance to the Town Hall.

Jericho has lots to offer in terms of pubs, cafes, and restaurants, all easily accessible from Rewley House, which is run by the University and rents out simple rooms in a historic square just off Little Clarendon Street.

If you fancy somewhere with a bit more atmosphere, we suggest the Holywell B&B, a quintessentially British guesthouse in a 16th-century listed building. We also recommend The Tower House (this one's 17th-century!), which as you can see from the photos, is a bit more hip. As an added benifit, its profits go to support a social action group for students.

The Oxford Peartree Travelodge is a cheap and cheerful option slightly outside the city. Buses run from the Pear Tree Park and Ride right into the city center, and a taxi back late at night wouldn't be too expensive.
