“People whinge about the fire station across the street but it isn't really an issue, how many fires do you think there are in Cambridge?” (Jan 2008)
“Not too bad. Fire station and police station opposite, so the sirens can can a bit annoying. THough i do wonder why they need the sirens at 6am!” (Jan 2005)
“Lots of stinky tramps outside Kelsey Kerridge, fire and police station nearby but you get used to them and some building work going on, but will probably be finished by next year.” (Jan 2004)
“Right next to Mill road, which is noisy, but worse still are the fire station and police station. Can wake you up at night and be distracting during the day.” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Quite small, and not great, pretty average though. Close to the room” (Jan 2008)
“A flea would moan about lack of space. Pittifully small. Got 2 fridges, and one of those electric hob things which would strugle to burn newspaper....seriously, your farts will generate more heat. Shared between 8 people, but just accross from my room.” (Jan 2005)
“Possible to fit 4 people in the kitchen, but not enough room to cook (or breathe). It's tiny. But you can watch the squirrels in the garden while you wait for the kettle to boil.” (Jan 2004)
“Tiny little kitchen for 6 people, but there is a large cupboard each for storage, two fridges, one of which has a small freezer compartment, 2 electric hobs, toaster, kettle, sandwich toaster” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“2 bathrooms, 6 people. Close to the room. Happy Days” (Jan 2008)
“Bathroom facilities are pretty good. Nice shower downstairs, and a not too badf one upstairs in the bathroom. 2 toilets, though the bog roll for the upstairs toilet is in a really awkward place..moral of that story, use the one downstairs.” (Jan 2005)
“Shower is crap, about as powerful as drizzle and the temperature goes up and down more than a brothel worker. There is a power shower next door.” (Jan 2004)
“one room with bath/shower and toilet and sink, another toilet downstairs. Shower is a bit weak but you can always go next door to no. 1!” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Big desk and table, but the wardrobe is small. There is a chest of drawers, a bookshelf, and another cupboard thing too.” (Jan 2008)
“Erm...a bed, a big dinig table, 2 comfy chairs (one of which is broken a bit, fatty that i am, one of the straps broke, but it still works) little coffee table ting which is good for keeping tv, consoles and stuff on. Chest of drawers and a big cabinet, a bookshelf (which curiously does not have big eough shelves to stand lever arch folders on) and a desk of course. Oh there is a wardrobe....if you wana call it that. The wardrobe is a joke, if you are a bird or a bloke who has a lot of clothes you'll need one of those rail doo daas.” (Jan 2005)
“Big dining table, perfect for dinner parties, rah. Average desk, a big sideboard, bookcase, cupboard and coffee table. The wardrobe is small though and you might have trouble fitting stuff in, doesn't fit suits.” (Jan 2004)
“Large desk, dining table that you can get about 8 people around, large dresser, tiny wardrobe (will be fine if you are less than 5 foot tall) chest of drawers, 2 coffee tables, 2 comfy chairs, bookshelf, and a bed ( the 'bedroom' is very tiny by the way)” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“Size. It is big, and the isn't too bad either” (Jan 2008)
“The size. THe living/sleeping room bit is massive, and then i got a seperate study.” (Jan 2005)
“It's really big, ideally positioned on the middle floor, has a sink and the house has a cool community atmosphere. When you get bored you can watch the fun antics of the tramps outside.” (Jan 2004)
“Its a good size room with a large window overlooking parkers piece, unlike most mortimer rooms which face the back of the swimming pool. Also easy access to washing machines in no. 1” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“It can be hot (because the heatings dodgy) or cold (because of single glazing and huge windows), but it didn't both me that much.” (Jan 2008)
“No network point. THe awful wardrobe. Position of bog roll in upstairs toilet. The cold (the heating doesnt work and the windows provide no insulation). and the kitchen.” (Jan 2005)
“No network point, but does have a phone socket. The tramps outside.” (Jan 2004)
“Noise from the fire engines and distance from college.” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“Bedder is really nice, the decor is, lets say, ecclectic, and they have been trying to sort the internet out. By the sounds of it it will be ready when you move in, it'll probably be sorted this term (Lent 08).” (Jan 2008)
“Nice room in general if you bring a heater or summit. Bedder is nice and friednly. Its just the other facilities which let it down a bit.” (Jan 2005)
“The bedder is friendly, no problems. Really nice room!” (Jan 2004)
“The house generally is very warm and bright with big windows, but the kitchen and bathroom facilities are not so good. I don't think much to the cleaning service either, but but the room itself is great. Plenty of space and very comfortable” (Jan 2003)
