- Noise
“Noise at the front rooms of morty road isnt good, but could be a lot worse. There are the occasional sirens from the police/fire station but these have never kept me up at night.” (Jan 2008)
“Noisy all the time, but you get used to it very quickly. This is because the fire and police stations are just across the way, but you'll pretty soon get the hang of sleepy through major emergencies.” (Jan 2006)
“Not too bad. The homeless guys who sleep outside Kelsey Kerridge can get into arguments, and the wind rattles the windows, but mustn't grumble.” (Jan 2004)
“Quite noisy because it's in the middle of the house and opposite the kitchen - depends what the house mates are like!” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Gyp room is tiny! One in our house-thats 5 people. This is just down half a floor from my room-no sink so the trip is made frequently” (Jan 2008)
“Tiny! Poorly equiped (no microwave), but you get used to it. Bit of a squash when all five of us try and get in it. Just downstairs though, so not far to stumble in the morning.” (Jan 2006)
“Gyp room is just a few paces away and shared between the 4 other people in your house. Its small, but just the same as anything in Harvey Court.” (Jan 2004)
“tiny tiny tiny. Five of us share it.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“Very small bathroom. Up half a flight of stairs from my room. The shower is pretty grim, made of wood i think” (Jan 2008)
“Reasonable (loo just upstairs, and one downstairs). Shower is close to the room, and there's a pretty nice bath downstairs.” (Jan 2006)
“Bathroom is also just a few paces away. There are 2 bathrooms in the house, but because theres only one shower in the house and the shower in the adjoining house is pretty crap most people (i.e. up to 8) use the shower in our house. Can cause log jams in the morning, but nothing too serious.” (Jan 2004)
“near room. Two bathrooms, five people.” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Small desk but large breakfast table. Average wardrobe size. Bed-that is to say slab of wood and a matress. Bedside table” (Jan 2008)
“Much better than HC stuff, except for the limited amount of shelving. Big table, normal size desk, two big comfy chairs, and three normal ones. Not sure why, as there's a limit on four people in the room at any one time. Also the lack of a computer chair is a bit annoying.” (Jan 2006)
“Furniture is pretty good, and miles better than anything HC has to offer. Two large comfy chairs, three desk chairs, a large table, a desk, a coffee table, a chest of drawers and a largish wardrobe. Couldn't really ask for much more.” (Jan 2004)
“dining table, small desk, 2 armchairs, 3 dining chairs, little coffee table. it's fine.” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“Size-the bedroom is small but the living room is huge-prob the biggest room in morty” (Jan 2008)
“Huge! And the bedroom is off to the side, which means even more space in the room. And it's cheap!” (Jan 2006)
“Its size, is closeness to the bathroom and the kitchen, and the fact you have two rooms.” (Jan 2004)
“nice size. separate bedroom bit.” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“Cold. THERE IS NO CENTRAL HEATING. There is a gas fire in the large room and the landlady thinks that this will heat both rooms-it does not. Also the gas heater gives me a headache. The windows are big and single glazed which does not help matters. I have bought a couple of electric heaters and moved all of my things into the bedroom (and the bed into the big room) to try and keep warm when working etc. THERE IS NO NETWORK CONNECTION. Wireless has been installed-just but the signal is crap.” (Jan 2008)
“There is no central heating and one feeble fire to warm two rooms, so extra heater(s) wouldn't go amiss. And you're charged for electricity and gas.” (Jan 2006)
“It's freezing, which is a combination of having single glazed windows, our size of the house being battered by wind, and no central heating. Putting up the gas heater at full blast is the only viable option, but mornings without heat can be horrible so bring blankets to supplement a good duvet.” (Jan 2004)
“you go into the bedroom bit first which is odd. no sink. And it's FREEZING.” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“Whether or not you can deal with this room will be dependent on your ability to tolerate extreme temperatures and your ability to put up with a landlady in your face-quite a lot. Some like her-I find her patronising and annoying. Interestingly she makes you pay separately for gas and electric (though your rent is cheaper) and charges you for guests. 1 pound a night. Therefore if you have a gf or bf, you either have to go to theirs or smuggle him/her out in the am without the landlady seeing.” (Jan 2008)
“The landlady is a bit... odd (bring lots of coasters). The carpets are hideous, but like a lot of things about this room, you get used to it. And for some odd reason, the door opens into the bedroom, not the living room.” (Jan 2006)
“Stupidly, the suite opens up into the bedroom first and then the living room, which is inconvienient if you want your living room to be a social place. Lots of wall space to decorate.” (Jan 2004)
“Have to pay for gas and electricity separately. Landlady is extremely irritating. No where to put our bikes, although hopefully that's changing. It's a good house though.” (Jan 2003)
