- Noise
“Living room over market, noisy a lot of the time. Bedroom over court and very quiet most of time” (Jan 2008)
“Sitting room noisy during day, overlooks the market (more than compensated for by the view though)!” (Feb 2007)
“Noise travels down the corridor and through doors pretty well. Market square noise isn't too bad.” (Jan 2006)
“only a bit noisy in living room at night and in day - overlooks the market square. eg on sunday a sax player sometimes comes. sometimes bells. but not problem for me. i quite like the market hummmm” (Jan 2004)

- Gyp Room
“Decent size, 4 sharing, end of corridor” (Jan 2008)
“Four sharing reasonable size” (Feb 2007)
“4 people sharing. Right at the end of the corridor. Fridge is a bit small and cupboards seem to be falling apart a bit. Could do with a bit of a clean.” (Jan 2006)
“fine. a bit farish but can use bedroom sink etc” (Jan 2004)
“4 rooms share. 10 seconds from the room (depending on how fast you walk)” (Jan 2003)

“shower, toilet and bath (3 separate rooms), 4 sharing, end of corridor” (Jan 2008)
“one shower room, one bathroom (with bath / shower) and WC between four - v. good” (Feb 2007)
“2 showers at the end of the corridor. One resembles a prison shower and tends to have a cool breeze blowing through it most of the time. The other shower's fine but water runs hot and cold sometimes which is a pain. Can use the shower in G just down the corridor though.” (Jan 2006)
“fine again. good powerfulish shower” (Jan 2004)
“1 shower, 1 bath/shower. 4/5 sharing. 10 seconds from the room (depending on how fast you walk)” (Jan 2003)

“large desk, table, sofa, comfy chair, computer chair, 2 wooden chair, bed, sideboard” (Jan 2008)
“Sofa, Lounge chair, coffee table, dining table desk chair, dining chair, window seat, gas fire (central heating in bedroom) bed, built in wardrobe and chest of drawers, built in cupbord in lounge, drinks cabinet / bookcase depending on your preference. All from old folks' home outfitters Ltd's 1974 catalouge.” (Feb 2007)
“2 large desks with lots of nice leg room underneath for tall people. Lots of storage space. Drawers are a bit stiff, both in the living room and bedroom. Chairs and sofas aren't very comfy and a bit broken but will try and get at least the broken chair replaced before I leave the room. Wardrobe could probably do with more space for hanging but I prob have more clothes than the average person.” (Jan 2006)
“good desk and expandable shower. bit of a shame about thesofa since it;s a bit lame - a kind of double lame chair whose cushions keep slipping between the springs etc and not very comfy,” (Jan 2004)

“The price.” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“Lots of wardrobe space.” (Jan 2008)
“Glorious sun from early morning right until sun down in living room, in summer bedroom gets sun early morning, late evening, but the curtains are blackout so it's never been a problem,carpet is blue with grey speckles, unsure of which round it shoudl be, a few wine stains nicly hidden by coffee table - poo brown in bedroom, wardrobe is a bit small (even for a bloke) two shirts and a suit hanging max, but loads of drawers and shelf space to make up, Central heating in bedroom - although no thermostat - either sahara or Siberia Lovely three bar fire in living room. Heats up in no time, you can see the glode warming when it's on though, no double glazing. Two sockets in each room - was alright for me - owning a lamp and a radio, but if you run a computer, electric tin opener etc might be an idea to bring an extension lead. Bedder doesn't clean very often, a lovely lady non the less: if you've given up the fags, her odour might save you money on niccorette - there'll be enough nicotine left in your room for several hours after she's left... enjoy.” (Feb 2007)
“Lots and lots of sunlight during the day. So much so that you'll prob have to draw the curtains during the day sometimes. Not enough sockets so I ended up with extension wires all over the floor. But not a bad room. Most of the separated sets are about the same size but this is a good corridor to be in as it's joined to G staircase making it a bit more sociable than other floors prob.” (Jan 2006)
“nice though not terribly chatty bedder. lots of space. good heating. good sockets. just a tiny bit cell-like in that the rooms next door are the same. split set is good for separation of smelly stuff but sometimes annoying for eg making coffee esp when people are around.” (Jan 2004)
