Noise

“living room: get the noise from the market. surprisingly loud considering 4 floors up. during the day its just hustle of market, and at night the bad-boy racers come to play. and the bells of St. Mary's - which chime continuously on weekends. you get used to them though. bedroom: really quite quiet as it faces the courtyard. you can hear people in the courtyard [and can yell down to them].” (Jan 2006)

Gyp Room

“not highest standard but not bad. shared between 4. at the end of the corridor, barely any distance. gas hobs are little scary at first, but powerful - great in comparison to those elec plug-in ones. 2 hobs, one fridge, 3 cupboards and 3 drawers. slightly dubious hygiene with wooden work-surface. size decent enough for a few people to stand but not easy if more than one of you cooking. amazing view from kitchen.” (Jan 2006)

Bath Room

“shower over bath at end of corridor. i don't like it [find it temperamental and drafty] so i go downstairs where they have this crazy 'shower-room' gas-chamber like thing. 4 people share.” (Jan 2006)

Furniture

“living room: medium desk, dining table, one normal chair, 2 comfy chairs, book-shelf unit, 2 kinda coffee-table things. loads and loads of cupboard storage space. bedroom: bedside table, chest of drawers, fairly large cupboard [with extra space ontop], bed, sink. ample storage.” (Jan 2006)

Best Feature

“2 rooms can be nice if you like to separate your work/sleep space. amazing views cos you're so high, can see out over all buildings, and view over market. gas-heater in living room is really powerful and cosy. an incredible amount of storage space. 3rd floor is adjoined with G so there's loads of you in one block.” (Jan 2006)

Worst Feature

“annoying having separated rooms. bedroom can be a little cold, and there's some dodgy mould on the wall. matress is really soft. fourth floor = can be a bit of an effort with all the stairs.” (Jan 2006)

General Comments

“you can hear *everything* on the corridor, but the doors are pretty good insulation. really sunny and bright room [sometimes need to shut the curtains to work in the morning]. not many plug sockets so come armed with extension leads. quiet up on fourth floor.” (Jan 2006)
