Noise

“None at all. Very quiet.” (Feb 2008)

“Fridges hum and microwave beeps occasionally, as do the housemates. Vodka helps.” (Jan 2008)

“It is very quiet.” (Jan 2006)

“It is not noisy at all.” (Jan 2004)

Gyp Room

“Big - choice of two, one enormous one merely large. Good facilities, lots of cupboards.” (Feb 2008)

“Conveniently located.” (Jan 2008)

“Gyp room doesn't really cover the big kitchen we have. Its shared between 4 people, 2 fridges, loads of storage, hob, sink. Incidently it is ideal for playing 'kitchen cricket' where you score points by hitting the ball in either the bin or the sink!! Kitchen is very clean and nice.” (Jan 2006)

“The kitchen on my floor is huge and plenty of storage. Two fridges which are more than enough. There are 4 ppl on this floor to share this kitchen.” (Jan 2004)

Bath Room

“Just downstairs. Convenient, sharing with one other person, other bathrooms in house if yours is in use.” (Feb 2008)

“Just down the hall, 2 people sharing, past the bedrooms.” (Jan 2008)

“Showeroom down one flight of stairs. 4 showers and one bath between 5 and 6 morti road. The bathroom is really clean cos housekeeper is a total legend.” (Jan 2006)

“The size is alright. There are two bathrooms with shower in house 6. But this house is linked with house 5 which has 2 more bathrooms. One with bath. The nearest bathroom is just downstairs.” (Jan 2004)

Furniture

“Large desk, tiny coffee table, desk chair, two armchairs. Bed is mediocre. One cupboard, tiny wardrobe, chest of drawers that falls over if you try to open it. Bookshelf that also falls over.” (Feb 2008)

“Lots of preparation & cupboard space plus mop storage. Microwave and sink come in handy.” (Jan 2008)

“2 Chairs, desk chair (now I've kidnapped it back from a thieving Scottish pikey!), big desk, TINY wardrobe-I had to get another one! Great bed, good storage. No shelves for folders...which I've just noticed can be my new excuse for the mess in my room!” (Jan 2006)

“Two sofa, reasonable sized desk. Very small wardrobe and lack of shelf for folders storage.” (Jan 2004)

Best Feature

“Big, quiet, sunlight in mornings + skylight. Good desk. Great house.” (Feb 2008)

“Breakfast in bed every morning, beer within reach of bed. Great for inviting girls in for 'just a cup of coffee' after cindies. Again, Vodka helps.” (Jan 2008)

“Tis big, light and airy. It has 2 smaller windows and a skylight above my bed....very romantic for looking at stars! Nice mantle piece. Basically its a lovely room. Wouldn't really change anything. Fantastic Housekeeper.” (Jan 2006)

“Overlook garden and roof window to see stars.” (Jan 2004)

Worst Feature

“Distance from centre of town. Can't have parties as bedder lives in basement. No common room/dining table anywhere in house. Not that much storage space.” (Feb 2008)

“Housemates making breakfast when you're still in bed....or getting the munchies at 2am. Piles of washing up add an unfortunate odour to that of the occupant. Room a long way from hall. Cooking at home recommended. Toast crumbs in bed.” (Jan 2008)

“Top floor-but it just helps me stay fit! Small wardrobe.” (Jan 2006)

“On the top floor.” (Jan 2004)

General Comments

“Bedder lives in - is nice but can be a bit intrusive. Room can be a bit chilly. Otherwise a great room, probably the best in the house as you are on the top floor, but rooms are all very similar.” (Feb 2008)

“Decor is somewhat white and utilitarian. Plenty of useful things though. If you are actually interested in getting this room, please contact Will Sellors on 07763126655. Please record his reaction for posterity. The actual room is very good & very similar to room 5, 6 mortimer road, so check that page for the real details. We hope you have a sense of humour.” (Jan 2008)

“This room is great. It is always light, carpet is neutral, walls are lemon yellow, heating is good, lots of sockets, Uni network. The Housekeeper is awesome....some people are reluctant to live in house with a housekeeper but she is really nice, really helpful ...even helped us cook a roast dinner last term.” (Jan 2006)

“Bedder is nice. Apart from not connected to university network, I don't see any bad points for this room.” (Jan 2004)
