Overlooking a street.
- Noise
“room overlooks street so can be quite noisy (huge bay windows don't help) but have never really found this a problem - your housemates will probably create far more noise than any cars outside!” (Jan 2008)
“You can hear the noise on the street outside, which can be annoying if there's some chavs outside at 2am drinking White Lightening but also means you can hear people coming home, which can be useful. I have never been kept awake by outside noise in this room.” (Feb 2005)
“Quiet even though on ground floor.” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“small but perfectly formed, just down the hall. working hobs (a very rare commodity in caius!), toaster, combination oven/microwave, kettle, george foreman grill. shared by 4 people. (if you can be bothered to trek up two flights of stairs there is another HUGE gyp room on the top floor.)” (Jan 2008)
“The kitchen is on the same floor and is compact but has ample storage space, 4 built in hob rings and a fridge. It is shared with your neighbour in number 4 and the two in the basement.” (Feb 2005)
“Same floor, very close, but small. For more appliances e.g. microwave you have to go to the top floor. Ground floor has 1 small fridge, a 4-ring electric hob, kettle, toaster, toastie maker. 4 people sharing I think.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“there are 3 bathrooms in the house but only 2 have showers. (one in the basement, one on the first floor.)” (Jan 2008)
“There is a shower room on the landing between the ground and first floors and a bathroom on the landing above that. They are both of ample size. Despite the fact that the 1st and 2nd floor inhabitants tend to prefer showers so share the shower room I have never had to wait, possibly because I shower at odd times. There is also a smaller shower room in the basement if the other one is in use.” (Feb 2005)
“Bathroom is up one set of stairs unfortunately, but on the plus side, it is a power shower. I have only had to queue for a shower twice.” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Lots of furniture but its a big room so doesn't appear crowded. Two armchairs, a coffee table, desk, swivel chair, two chests of drawers, a wardrobe, two mini-bookcases, bedside table, and peculiar cabinet with transparent sliding doors. oh yes and a bed.” (Jan 2008)
“The furniture is pretty good. You get a desk with swively chair, a coffee table, a small bookcase, a chest of drawers, a bedside table with a little cupboard in, a sort of sideboard thing with a glass display case on the top and a big cupboard with a mirror on the front. If you want more furniture there's always the Salvation Army shop round the corner. There's also a mantlepiece to display your guff on.” (Feb 2005)
“Large desk with many drawers, 2 comfy armchairs, wardrobe with full length mirror, large drinks/food cabinet, bedside table, file/bookcase, mamtlepiece for more books.” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“Huge room, loads of floorspace, high ceilings and large bay windows.” (Jan 2008)
“The huge bay windows are fun to look out of, the artexed ceiling is quite nice but best of all is the large amount of space to leave piles of dirty washing. You can't quite swing an adult cow but an older calf would be no problem. I also like being next to the front door so I can answer the door to people rather than buzzing them in.” (Feb 2005)
“Large amount of storage space for clothes, books, drinks, food.” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“ceiling light not very powerful and the room can be a bit too dark to read/work without additional lights in the evenings. bringing your own desk lamp is recommended as the only lamp in the room is very small and weak and sits on the bedside table...” (Jan 2008)
“The large bay windows, though nice, are single glazed so don't hold the heat in too well. This combined with the fact that there is only one radiator on the other side of the room to the bed mean that it's sometimes quite cold at night. Invest in some bedsocks and a hot water bottle and you should be alright. Failing that I can sell you my portable heater.” (Feb 2005)
“Bathroom is one floor up, and the large windows overlooking the road is bad for privacy/security - I keep the curtains closed all the time to keep the laptop from view.” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“5/6 Morty road rooms in general are excellent, have been fairly recently refurbished unlike some of the other morty houses and all rooms have network.” (Jan 2008)
“5 and 6 Morty have been refurbished in the last few years so the facilities are much nicer than most other accomodation, especially Harvey Court. The sockets in my room are slightly eccentrically placed so an extension lead could be a good idea. Whilst there is a network socket, it isn't wired in to anything but I've been told it will be at some point in the future. This goes for all of Mortimer Road. The bedder/housekeeper lives in number 6, which is attached to number 5. This may put some people off but shouldn't because she is so so nice and very helpful with everything. She'll even lend you stuff for bop outfits if you're nice.” (Feb 2005)
“Large room, the only thing is the lighting is poor unless the curtains are open.” (Jan 2003)
