- Noise
“Gardies and bizarrely the church in St Mike's Court are both pretty noisy.” (Feb 2006)
“The bedroom overlooks Rose Crescent (i.e. Gardies), but I've never been kept awake by the noise, as the double glazing is pretty good. However, there is a certain Big Issue seller at the end of the street that wont give up asking people to "spare a sheckle...".” (Jan 2005)
- Gyp Room
“Gyp room joins B6 and B5. Quite small but adequate. Make sure you're mates with the person in B5, it's quite an intimate living arrangement!” (Feb 2006)
“The kitchen adjoins the porch (sounds posh doesn't it?), which is shared with the other person on the floor. This makes things really sociable, but ensure you like the person planning to live there! It used to have an oven, but college cruelly removed it for being "unsafe" (we suspect they probably made a mistake, because it's the kitchen below us that smelled of gas... and still does). It's an okay size for two, but swinging a hamster might be difficult.” (Jan 2005)
- Bath Room
“Bit of a hike, but the rooms make up for it.” (Feb 2006)
“Although the bedroom has a sink, the toilets & showers (2 of each) are in the basement (i.e. 3 floors down), which can be a pain in the middle of the night. However, they're pretty nice and only shared between 6 people, if a little dark.” (Jan 2005)
- Furniture
“Standard sofa, ugly desk, nice sideboard thing. Furniture isn't that great to be honest.” (Feb 2006)
“2 bookcases, a nice sideboard, a rickety desk, a really nice desk chair, the usual standard-issue (double) armchair, a coffee table, and a fridge-freezer (though this belongs to last year's tenant, so may not be there next year).” (Jan 2005)
- Best Feature
“Pretty fireplace, windows etc. Nice size. Good to share kitchen with just one other person, as long as you like them.” (Feb 2006)
“The large windows let in a lot of light, and the fireplaces are really quaint. I personally think these rooms are much nicer than those in G & H St. Mikes, as they're more private and you don't have to cross a corridor to get to your bedroom.” (Jan 2005)
- Worst Feature
“Noisy, bathroom miles away.” (Feb 2006)
“The church bells (though you can't avoid these anywhere), the dodgy desk, the minging carpet, and the fact that it's on the second floor.” (Jan 2005)
- General Comments
“Bedder very nice. Hoovers and stuff. Reasonably bright. Don't go for this room if you're bothered by noise, it is directly facing Gardies!” (Feb 2006)
“Wardrobe/ hanging space is excellent, there are plenty of sockets and the general decor is good, but the bedder is DREADFUL (some say the worst in college). She never cleans the carpet/ kitchen, though she has bin emptying down to a fine art, and spends half (no wait 90%) of her time talking. Avoid being around at 3pm when she visits, and do the hoovering yourself. Above all though, this room and staircase is a good choice, and I'd choose it again every time.” (Jan 2005)
