- Noise
“Rose Crescent gets noisy some nights, but the room's fairly high up and you get used to it after a few days so its not really an issue.” (Jan 2006)
“Sitting room/study very quiet. as it overlooks St Mike's court. Bedroom a bit noisy as it overlooks Green Street (though not directly above Gardie's) As I'm on the third floor it's not usually a huge problem-there have only been 1 or 2 nights when it has disturbed me.” (Jan 2005)
“Slightly noisy when in the bedroom like every other room which looks over Rose Crescent. Though being on the top floor, and near the market square end of the crescent makes the noise levels a bit better.” (Jan 2004)
“not much noise. occasional late night drinkers in rose crescent, but not enough noise to wake anyone up.” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Private gyp room, very small, one gas ring that dies the job. Poor ventilation though, so can't do anything extravagent. Communal one downstairs is decent enough.” (Jan 2006)
“I have my own kitchen-and fridge-within my set of rooms. It's however quite small (prob can't even swing a hamster in it!), with only one hob. but it's still all mine!” (Jan 2005)
“Have my own kichen. Can only swing a hamster in it though. And it has no sink (though there is a sink just next door in the bedroom). There is an ok kitchen one floor downstairs which the two rooms on that floor use. But there is a big fridge all of my own in the living room.” (Jan 2004)
“very small with one hob, but it's just for one person. it's in the suite of rooms, but doesn't have a sink.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“One floor down, good shower, always warm.” (Jan 2006)
“There is both a loo and shower on the floor below me, shared between six. This is much better than having to go down about 5 flights of steps to the basement facilities.” (Jan 2005)
“F staircase is unusual as there is a separate toilet and shower room with 2 sinks on the second floor, only one floor downstairs from my room. The 6 rooms on the staircase use these. But there is also the bathrooms in the basement which we can use, and all the other staircases use (except D which also has a bathroom halfway up).” (Jan 2004)
“floor below, (but wooden stairs so no freezing feet!) for whole staircase (6 people). shower, 2 sinks, and a separate toilet.” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Have large desk, computer desk, decent coffee table, average couch, swivel chair, old armchair, fridge and oldschool fireplace with crest.” (Jan 2006)
“Very large desk, big bookshelf, a piano stool (?), a computer table thing (?) a swively chair, 2 armchairs, a small sofa (not wildly confortable) a coffee table. In the bedroom, a bed, chest of drawers, bathroom cabinet and wardrobe. There is plenty of storage space, even within the kitchen” (Jan 2005)
“In the living room: Big desk, computer table, 2 arm chairs, sofa (reasonably comfy), another chair, frigde, large book case thing. The bedroom: Bed, sink, large cupboard, chest of drawers, bathroom cabinet.” (Jan 2004)
“large desk, computer stand, small table, sofa, 2 comfy chairs, 2 desk chairs, a cabinet and a piano stool (no piano though!)” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“Its pretty damned good all round. Big room, handy having the shower just downstairs (A-E its in the basement), good view over Mike's and the washing machines are in the basement.” (Jan 2006)
“It's big, windows face opposite directions so you always get light. You can sit at your desk and watch people coming in and out- very distracting. the sitting room is quite a good room for socialising in, but you still have your bedroom as private, and I find it a very cosy room.” (Jan 2005)
“I love the view - you see Caius, Kings' Chapel, and can watch everyone going in and out of St Mikes/college. And the living room is really big, so good for lots of people.” (Jan 2004)
“it's very large and has its own kitchen” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“Up 3 floors, which makes moving in fun and the trek just gets tiresome after a while” (Jan 2006)
“The only really bad thing I find is that you have to use your washbasin as your sink to wash up plates etc., and it's really small and annoying.” (Jan 2005)
“Nothing really. It's one of the nicest rooms in St Mikes. The lack of kitchen sink is a bit annoying. And having to walk up 3 flights of stairs. Especially when unpacking. But then that gives you the view.....” (Jan 2004)
“it's quite dark” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“Good amount of storage, lots in fact. decor is drab, apart from crest above fireplace, a bit dark on one corner but rest gets fair amount of light. Can get a bit cold when windy as windows not glazed, but gas fire pumps out the heat. lotsa sockets” (Jan 2006)
“Bright room, bedder nice (not too fussed on cleaning so doesn't try and tidy you up/doesn't get annoyed). Carpet average Caius nasty sludge colour, wardrobe a bit small (depends how many clothes you have-i have a fair few to hang up). Heaing good in both rooms, also enough sockets0 (though you may want to bring an adaptor).” (Jan 2005)
“Decor is a bit sixties brown. But i've covered that all up. There are lots of useful sockets, plenty of storage space. There's a ledge you an walk onto outside the living room window. If you want to. And it gets sun in the afternoon.” (Jan 2004)
“bedder is very nice (not intrusive though)” (Jan 2003)
