Overlooking a street
- Noise
“Don't agree with previous report. Living room is quite noisy since it overlooks trinity street. Very noisy in the mornings since St Mike's cafe rubish bins just outside and bin lorries come to empty them. Can hear noise from Rose Crescent at night from the bedroom since room door provides little insulation. However, most rooms in St Mike's are noisy, I guess you'll have to put up with that. On the other hand, A, B, C Blocks in St Mike's are relatively quite far from St Mary's Church, hence, although you can still hear the bells on Sundays, it's not as annoying as for those in G/H.” (Feb 2007)
“Unlike most rooms in St Mike's this room is really quiet; the bedroom overlooks St Mike's church, and the living room overlooks Trinity St & St Mike's so you don't have to put up with the Rose Crescent noise!” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Gyp Room is very good. Has the combi ovens, one fride, sink, toaster, kettle, and washbasin for a6. It's spacious, perfectly all right for three people.” (Feb 2007)
“The gyp room is pretty rubbish; one bunsen-burner-like hob, a sink, a microwave and a fridge, shared between three. It's right next to the room though.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“Clear disadvantage of room. It's on basement, which means three floors down. Cold journey in the mornings. Bathroom has two showers and one bath for guys, I guess similar facilities in girls WC.” (Feb 2007)
“Err they're right down in the basement! LOTS of steps (I haven't bothered to count them yet!)But when you get there they're pretty nice and only used by one staircase (unlike C-F staircases in St Mike's).” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Good desk, 2 comfy chairs, one desk chair, one arm chair, one office chair, wardrobe, drawers, bookcase, bed, display cabinet, coffe table. Storage space quite limited.” (Feb 2007)
“Nice desk, 2 fireplaces, 2 'comfy' chairs, 3 'not-so-comfy' chairs, wardrobe, chest of drawers (a bit small), bookcase, bed (!), display cabinet, coffee table.” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“A St Mike's is the only staircase in A/F which has three rooms per floor, hence it feels more communal than others. Great place to choose to be with your friends, much better than G/H. There're seven rooms in this staircase and all very close to each other. This room is probably the best one in the staircase. It has a very nice square feeling, which makes it very space efficient, and bedroom is very big, and has a lot of light.” (Feb 2007)
“The lovely reasonably-sized living room with the beautiful 'corner windows' overlooking college, St Mike's and down towards King's Parade.” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“Clearly long way to the toilet. Don't agree it's creepy at night. Actually, there is a very nice garden outside A, B, C staircases, which gives some sense of exclusivity to this side of St Mike's.” (Feb 2007)
“Walking right around the back of St Mike's church on your own can be creepy at night(!) and it's quite a long way to the toilet.” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“Very good room. Go for F St Mike's though if you can. Clearly better. However, if lower in the ballot and want to be with friends, this is a great option. In my opinion, this room is fairly priced, hence rent should only increase smoothly for next year.” (Feb 2007)
“A really good room; last year's owner gave it a glowing report, and I can only do the same.” (Jan 2003)
