- Noise
“Noise isn't too bad, but living room is over looking market square, n above the van of life, so it can get quite noisy late at night (also, chavs like to drive around and be noisy at night) and it can also be a bit noisy on saturdays when the have music or protests in market square. Bedroom is really quiet though as its overlooking st Mike's.” (Feb 2007)
“The bedroom isn't noisy, as it faces into St Mike's court. The living room is high enough to avoid most of the Market-Square-related noise.” (Jan 2004)
“The main room is overlooking market square (amazing people watching spot) but can get noisy, especially saturdays, when a certain saxophonist comes to town! Being on the fourth floor makes the noise situation better though. The bedroom is quiet, as it overlooks St Mike's court” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“6 people sharing, plenty of cupboard space if u want it, 2 sinks, 2 kettles, 2 toasters, 2 microwave/oven things, but only one fridge, so, can get quite full but it really depends on how much fridge space the people you end up living with use.” (Feb 2007)
“Quite large, a few doors down the corridor and shared with everyone on this floor (6 people).” (Jan 2004)
“Pretty rank - only one of the hobs works, and we found a toilet seat in one of the cupboards when we moved in! Little storage space. Shared by six people.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“on this floor there are two toilets, and one shower between 6, its never really caused any problems” (Feb 2007)
“Two toilets, one shower & bath! Again, shared with everyone on this floor (6 people).” (Jan 2004)
“Two toilets and one bath/shower between six people. Bath not great (drainage problems). Shower fine (but you sometimes have to stand in someone else's water!)” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“plenty. living room: two 'comfy chairs' (which are fairly comfy) one sofa (which is more like a two seater version of one of the comfy chairs, but its alright) large desk with lots draw space, desk chair, dining table, but no chairs to go with it, lots cupboard space, adequate shelf space. No coffee table though, which is a shame. Bedroom: medium sized chest fo drawers, large-ish wardrobe, but mostly shelf space and not tonnes of rooms for hanging, also not tall enough to hang full length dresses (but there is a hook on back of door which is high enough)” (Feb 2007)
“There's quite a lot of furniture, including a medium-sized desk, table, three chairs and a college-style sofa (at the moment), a dresser in each room and *lots* of cupboard and shelving space.” (Jan 2004)
“Bedroom: bed, bedside table, chest of drawers, built in cupboard Main room: large desk, large table, coffee table, 2 built in cupboards, sofa, 'arm chair', desk chair, standing cupboard” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“the view is amazing!!! It's big enough to have lots of space but no so big that it feels un-homely.” (Feb 2007)
“The storage space, the size of the living room and the amount of light it receives when the sun's out.” (Jan 2004)
“View - the main room gets the sunlight all day long” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“living on the 4th floor is bad when u are movign stuff in and out at beginning and end of term, or if you forget something. Its slightly isolated because no one would walk past it on their way to somewhere else. The living room only has an electric heater which means the rooms is always cold when u get up or come home and have to wait for it to heat up. Plus, because the rooms are seperated i find i don't really use my bedroom very much.” (Feb 2007)
“Lack of a fireplace (there's a heater, though), height!” (Jan 2004)
“gyp room, and bathroom” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“Assuming she stays, the bedder is great, really friendly, cleans regularly. Lots sunlight (a bit too much sometimes as desk faces out of window). Carpet isn't great, there are a few suspect stains on it. Lots sockets (3 doubles in living room, 1 double in bedroom)” (Feb 2007)
“Quite a good room, seemingly neglected last year due to its height in the block. Also good for people watching in market square, esp. including when the Cambridge Christmas lights get swithced on...” (Jan 2004)
“Bedder's fine - generally a great room” (Jan 2003)
