Overlooking a street.
- Noise
“Not too noisy bar on thursday mornings? when the rubbish men come to pick stuff up. Otherwise very quiet residential area.” (Feb 2007)
“Can hear people out on the street sometimes- generally pretty quiet area though.” (Feb 2006)
“Some street noise, but not much. Not much noise from the rest of the house either.” (Feb 2005)
“Not very noisy ever. Glisson Rd is a quiet residential street.” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Tiny, doesn't even count as a room. One person can only just fit in. Dire.” (Feb 2007)
“The size of a washing machine (literally) - the fridge is kept outside my bedroom because there is no space in the kitcken. ITS RUBBISH.” (Feb 2006)
“Incredibly small. Downstairs. 5 sharing, but only 1 person can do anything at one time. No workspace worth talking about, but does have a microwave. Fridge is upstairs, kitchen downstairs! You're not going to be having dinner parties.” (Feb 2005)
“There's one kitchen between five people. It's on the first floor, but the fridge is on the second floor. The kitchen is the size of a cupboard, but there is a microwave.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“One bathroom, medium sized. Has a shower which is alright, always hot. However, has washbasin, toilet and bath/shower all in the same room, hence waiting does happen from time to time,as you share with 4 others! It's on the floor below, which is not too bad.” (Feb 2007)
“Even though I only share with 2 others (Glisson Rd is always last to be picked but you could end up living with 4 others) I end up q-ing for the bathroom. This is the only facility and if someone is using the shower when you need to pee its awful.” (Feb 2006)
“Bathroom is fine, and is kept clean. But there is only 1 between 5 people, so often not useful when in a rush.” (Feb 2005)
“There's one nice bathroom for the five people. It's a reasonable size, and there's a bath with a shower over it, which is always hot.” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Nice work desk, a coffee table, cupboard, bookshelf, side cabinet, 3 chairs. Not too shabby at all.” (Feb 2007)
“desk, 4 chairs including a lovely one-person sofa chair. This has a manky cover but is very comfy.” (Feb 2006)
“Furniture is fine. Large desk, two arm chairs and a work chair. Decent sized wardrobe and sideboard-thing. Bookcase and coffee table are a little unsteady but ok. Bed could definitely do with a new mattress, one that you don't just sink into.” (Feb 2005)
“Bed, wardrobe(shelves and hanging space), large desk, book case, coffee table, 2 armchairs, big cupboard” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“L-shaped, quite large, best room in glisson...if that counts for anything. Nice and warm, fridge is just outside (but you share with 4 others and kitchen is on a different floor)” (Feb 2007)
“The shape grows on you - it's right at the top so you have sloping ceilings which is annoying cos you can't hang anything but is also very cosy. It has lots of character.” (Feb 2006)
“It's one of the bigger rooms in the house. It's further from the landlady, so you can make more noise. Cheap rent.” (Feb 2005)
“It's L shaped, which i really like. And as it's at the top of the house, the eaves are interesting shapes.” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“Very thin curtains means it gets very bright during the morning, but otherwise quite a dark room.” (Feb 2007)
“Its at the top of the stairs and the sloping celiings are annoying sometimes. Only two plug sockets together by the bed so had to rig up some crazy witing system around the room.” (Feb 2006)
“The eaves are a bit annoying. It gets quite cold in the winter sometimes (but you can turn on the gas fire). No network connection. No washbasin. The room is ok, but it is one of the worst houses.” (Feb 2005)
“It can be a little cold. And if you're tall, you might not like the eaves.” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“Bedder is the land lady, she's nice enough. Comes and cleans once a week which works for me. Good storage space, warm, comfy bed n good furniture. Limited number of sockets like most college rooms. Quite a good room, just a bit of a rubbish location (unless you're a gym keeno as it's near Fenners) and the house facilities are very lacking. The old man is a hero.” (Feb 2007)
“Land-lady is nice. NEVER see her - think in the last term and a half she has been into my room twice to hoover and take-away my bin. This suits me but can be a pain - I often have to pinch the hoover from downstairs and do it myself, but I quite like my privacy. Often have mates over late at night - have never had any complaints - my room's quite sound proof from below which is good.” (Feb 2006)
“There is a washer/"dryer", which does wash. Only one double socket. The house is a bit isolated, and further from town than most others, but nearer Fenner's gym. The room is an odd shape, but that doesn't bother me.” (Feb 2005)
“It is a surprisingly nice room for Glisson road, the house keeper lives downstairs, but i hardly see her except when she cleans my room once a week (and she does clean well). There is a washer dryer, but no proper tumble dryer.” (Jan 2003)
