- Noise
“Sometimes it's noisy in the market square (at night especially). But the bedroom is double glazed so unless you're a really light sleeper it probably should be ok.” (Jan 2008)
“The living room overlooks the Van of Life, so with the window open it can be noisy till in the early morning, but there's double glazing in the bedroom that blocks out all the noise. Apparently there are dustbin lorries early in the morning but I've always slept through them” (Jan 2005)
“Considering my living room is directly above the van of life it's not that noisy especially because the bedroom overlooks rose crescent rather than the market square. Having said that, I guess if you were a light sleeper and wanted to work in the room every evening the noise might get annoying. Often hear shouting around 2am but I usually sleep through it.” (Jan 2004)
“Rose Crescent noise sometimes a problem early in the morning, but not a major issue” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Right beside my room, fairly average size (i.e. small!) about 6-8 ppl sharing i think, but it doesn't seem like that many.” (Jan 2008)
“It's not a bad size, there are 3 gas rings, but only one fridge and it's shared between 8 people (some normally end up buying their own fridge then it's not so bad)” (Jan 2005)
“Very basic,just a 3 ringed gas hob, nothing else. not bad size but shared by about 8 people. Fridge is TINY for that many, fortunately the 2 sets of people in sets have their own fridge so not too much of a problem at the moment. Right next to room. V convenient but do get kitchen smells!” (Jan 2004)
“Right next to room. Decent size.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“You have to go through two doors (by the stairs) to get to the bathroom and shower or down the long corridor to use the one in H. There is no sink in the toilet so it is really unhygienic.” (Jan 2008)
“One toilet, one bath/shower on the same floor about 2 seconds away. There are 8 people sharing but there are more on the floors above and below.” (Jan 2005)
“1 bath with shower and 1 toilet between 8 people. Both about 10 m from my door.” (Jan 2004)
“Fine. No basin in the toilet though, not v hygienic” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Lots! Dining table, large desk, sofa (but not so comfy that you could sleep on it), chair, swivel desk chair, coffee table, 2 bookshelves, massive chest of drawers, large wardrobe and another wardrobe(type) storage space.” (Jan 2008)
“Large desk + swivel chair, dining table, 3 comfy chairs, 2 bookshelves, chest of drawers and 2 huge cupboards” (Jan 2005)
“Large desk, dining table, coffee table, 2 comfy chairs, large windowsill, 2 book cases,” (Jan 2004)
“Two desks for the hard worker. On the whole a good mix.” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“The size - nice and big, you can look out over market square during the day and see all of cambridge doing their shopping” (Jan 2008)
“Loads of cupboard space, rooms not separated across corridor, view of the market place, bathroom on the same floor, lots of light in the living room (it has 2 big windows)” (Jan 2005)
“Size, lots of cupboard space, separate bedroom, not across a corridor” (Jan 2004)
“Lots of light in the morning due to windows on Market square and RC.” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“the noise at night and the kitchen smells a bit.” (Jan 2008)
“Occasional noise” (Jan 2005)
“occasionally the noise, and not having a ladder down to the van of life (can see it but takes 5 mins to walk round to it!!)” (Jan 2004)
“Dustbin men can wake you up at 5 o'clock” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“Very bright during the day which is lovely, the decor is standard caius style - green! The bedder is an utter legend.” (Jan 2008)
“Lots of sunlight in the living room (if you get up early!), very good bedder at the moment, only 2 sockets in each room, portable electric heater (very effective)” (Jan 2005)
“Decor is much better than some people in St Mikes, curtains are dark so keep out light quite well. Get plenty of sunlight in day time. Heater is v effective.” (Jan 2004)
