Noise

“Fairly quiet; few drunken noises from the tramps on the street below and a few fire engines/police cars. Seriously not loud enough to disturb you.” (Feb 2007)

“The rooms are mostly very quiet; as it's near to the fire station and police station, sirens can be heard through the night occassionally. Overall, it's much quieter than living in Harvey Court.” (Jan 2006)

Gyp Room

“Shared between 6; small; down one and a half flights of stairs; hob, microwave, sink, cupboards.” (Feb 2007)

“7 people share the gyp room where there is a microwave, two hobs and a grill under the hobs. It is down two flights of stairs from my room and is always v clean as the landlady likes us to do our washing up - definitely nicer than those in Harvey Court.” (Jan 2006)

Bath Room

“1 flight down; clean; bath; nice.” (Feb 2007)

“There is one bath and one shower between seven in two separate rooms, both of which are always clean and the bath especially is in a nice blue bathroom. The bath is not far at all from my room and the toilet is in the same room. There is another toilet on the ground floor where the shower also is. You can however use the shower in the adjoining house which is closer.” (Jan 2006)

Furniture

“I have a large dining table, study desk, coffee table, 1 computer chair, 2 other chairs, 2 comfy armchairs, shelves; 2 wardrobes in the bedroom.” (Feb 2007)

“I have two desks, a coffee table, 2 wardrobes in the bedroom with a bedside cabinet. There is plenty of storage space and a lot of room to put everything.” (Jan 2006)

Best Feature

“Sink, skylight basically in both rooms, suite, big living room, light and airy, cute bedroom - I really like it!” (Feb 2007)

“The size of the room is definitely better than last year and it's great to have a separate bedroom.” (Jan 2006)

Worst Feature

“The carpet clashes with the big armchairs.” (Feb 2007)

“It's pretty much always cold!” (Jan 2006)

General Comments

“Landlady has fairly strict rules but she's nice and wants to help. Internet can be obtained fairly easily if there's a computer-oriented person in the house. Basically it's a really nice room and you should go for it.” (Feb 2007)

“There is a landlady in this house who you will see around quite a bit - as it's her house she tends to be quite particular about everything. Also you do have to pay for gas and electricity separately, as for washing machines, internet (we have wireless) and a pound a night per guest who stays! it can seem quite a bit, but still is cheaper than my room last year.” (Jan 2006)
