- Noise
“Cant hear a thing normally. Far away from all communal spaces. As you'll probably read there is a yapping dog sometimes.” (Jan 2008)
“Not really much noise at all. The dog barks in the garden below occasionally but thats it.” (Feb 2007)
“Not that noisy at all, there is a dog outside which barks occasionally but not that much. You can sometimes hear doors slamming and things but I've never been woken up by it.” (Jan 2006)
“Quiet all day. Except the dog in the garden outside sometimes. But not a lot. And the nice lady is very nice about it.” (Feb 2005)
“Fairly quiet despite nearby building work and yapping dog (owned by the lady in the basement who is never any trouble).” (Jan 2004)
“Mrs Harris has a dog - all is fine unless the guy in room 2 decides to try and play with it!” (Feb 2003)
- Gyp Room
“HUGE. The only place in caius with real cooking facilities....apart from green street. There are Hobs, as well as the customary george foreman.” (Jan 2008)
“Brilliant. One of the best parts of living in this house. The nearest kitchen is upstairs and has a hob, loads of cupboard space and big worktops. In the basement theres an even bigger kitchen with dining table, two hobs and plenty of room for the whole house to socialise in.” (Feb 2007)
“They are HUGE and wonderful, there are 2 in the house, the nearest is one floor up. Plenty big enough for everyone! Plus the one in the basement of house 8 has a table in it so you can sit and eat with friends - awesome!” (Jan 2006)
“Two large kitchens shared by 14. 'Gyp room' does not come clost to describing the size, facilities and general sexiness of these kitchens. (I promise I am being serious)” (Feb 2005)
“2 in the house-1 in basement, 1 on top floor (floor above), both shared between houses 7&8. Very big and recently done up with 2 proper hobs, 2 fridges and 2 basins per kitchen. Each kitchen shared between 5-6 people.” (Jan 2004)
“Fantastic facilities, but if u add a microwave, portable oven etc Angie is liable to confiscating it! (Despite it being OK with the College...!). There are 2 kitchens shared between houses 7 and 8 but they are quite big. Friction can occur if peoples' food goes missing from fridges etc...! The closed one to me is just up a flight of stairs.” (Feb 2003)
- Bath Room
“Very close, just down 3 steps. Never had to wait to use it. Great Shower, big room.” (Jan 2008)
“This is one of the best located rooms as it is located a few steps from the shower (really powerful) and toilet and half a flight of stairs away from a larger bathroom and toilet. Ive never had to queue for either.” (Feb 2007)
“The shower is fantastic, and the bathrooms are lovely and clean and fairly newly redone like the whole house. There's a shower about half a flight of stairs down and another bathroom with a bath half a flight up, I've only had to queue a couple of times.” (Jan 2006)
“Bathrooms on every mezzanine; ie 3 toiliets, two showers between 6” (Feb 2005)
“1 shower and bath in each house. Shower very close to the room. All very new and work well. 2 toilets (in each of houses 7&8)” (Jan 2004)
“Fantastic - shower is heaven! there is a shower room and a bathroom both with toilets (in addition there is a shower room on the ground floor in house 8 which u can use. there are 6 ppl in house 7 so u do the maths!” (Feb 2003)
- Furniture
“2 New Comfy chairs. Desk. Table. Fireplace! Cupboard. Drawers (too small) erm..... too much space!” (Jan 2008)
“All the rooms in house 7/8 have identical furniture. smallish desk, chest of drawers, coffee table, 2 comfy chairs and a small wardrobe” (Feb 2007)
“Desk and wheely chair, bed, two comfy chairs, bookshelf, bedside table, coffee table, chest of drawers and wardrobe - all nice new Ikea style stuff.” (Jan 2006)
“Desk, bookcase, two chairs, swivel chair, bed, bedside table, wardrobe, chest of drawers” (Feb 2005)
“All very new and in good condition: 1 desk 1 wardrobe 1 chest of drawers 1 full length mirror 1 book case 1 swivel chair 2 comfy chairs” (Jan 2004)
“Furniture very new/IKEA style - nice but you can't slouch in the chairs which is annoying! Coffee table, desk and wardrobe. Full length mirror, bed is big, bedside table. Loads of shelving space too” (Feb 2003)
- Best Feature
“Space. Light. Near Bathroom. Near Kitchen. View of worlds tackiest garden.” (Jan 2008)
“Its really sunny in the morning and its nice and spacious. The best thing about living here is the rest of the house though. The whole road is really sociable and this is by far the nicest house on it.” (Feb 2007)
“Warm, big and modern, kitchens and bathrooms are fantastic, plus this year we have got the internet so we're really lucky. Nice view as well over the garden and her fishpond!” (Jan 2006)
“It is absolutely superb. Warm. Modern. Recently painted. Large windows. Good view. Easy walk to town.” (Feb 2005)
“No housekeeper, so no hassel! Large and well decorated. Good kitchens. Close to shower” (Jan 2004)
“Wonderful view of Mrs Harris' garden - it's gonna look fantastic in the summer!” (Feb 2003)
- Worst Feature
“Far away from town. Get a bike!!” (Jan 2008)
“Bit of trek into town and sidgwick i suppose, but as long as you have a bike you get used to it.” (Feb 2007)
“Storage is a little small but it's not really a problem” (Jan 2006)
“Hard to say. Doginess downstairs is as bad as it gets, but the little thing only ever goes in the garden a few times a day for a few minutes” (Feb 2005)
“As with all second year rooms it's a pretty long way out of town. Has no sink (but when you find out what people do in them, maybe that's a good thing...) Slow and poor dial-up for internet” (Jan 2004)
“So far out of town and has no net connection.” (Feb 2003)
- General Comments
“sunlight: check bedder: lovely carpet: yup sockets: Tonnes everywhere Go to morty as a group of friends and you'll have a great year. Be sure not to pick anyone liable to fall asleep in your bed when drunk.” (Jan 2008)
“7/8 Morty road is a wicked house to live in!” (Feb 2007)
“A good amount of sunlight comes in plus the lighting is good, the bedder is absolutely awesome, she's relatively new so anything bad you read from a few years ago is out of date. Painted pale yellow with blue curtains and chairs, which is lovely. Plenty of sockets and nice and warm! A really great room!” (Jan 2006)
“The housekeeper is a legend. And doesn't live in the house, which makes her even better.” (Feb 2005)
“Thin curtains so gets light early in the morning. South facing so bright throughout the day. Excellent bedder. Decent carpet-a step up from Harvey Court! Yellow paint with pine furniture and blue fabric. Fine wardrobe, heating and sockets.” (Jan 2004)
“Sunlight in the morning is nice, 2 lights on ceiling so it's nice and bright at night too! It's very spacious. Angie can be a complete cow unless you're willing to be diplomatic and basically butter her up. She hates house 8 because they came to her with a problem. Easiest thing to do is accept she's a hormonal cow and try and tolerate her! There is no net connection, and the college seem as reluctant as ever to get on with things. There was an attempt to broadcast wireless internet but that fell at the first post. Buy a modem!” (Feb 2003)
