- Noise
“Living room can be a bit noisy in the early hours but its just drunk people going down Trinity Street. Doesn't really bother me at all. Bedroom is quite quiet.” (Jan 2008)
“A bit noisy in the late evenings/early morning (from Trinity Street). But not bad” (Jan 2006)
“Not that noisy, lovely view of college and king's parade if you like that.” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Gyp room is about 1 metre away from my room. Its got the standard stuff and is only shared between 3 of us.” (Jan 2008)
“As poorly equiped as any other in Caius. Shared with two others. On same floor.” (Jan 2006)
“three people sharing fridge, only two sharing gas hobs. Directly opposite door to room.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“Bathroom is absolutely miles away, only real negative to my room. Have to go down 4 floors. On the plus side there are 2 girls toilets and 1 shower between just 3 of us (although that will vary depending on how many girls live on the staircase. One of the toilets and the shower are in a bit which you need a code to get into, and it also has 2 sinks, a big mirror and some plugs so handy for doing your hair or whatever. This bit is nicer than the rest of the general basement area as it has a sort of laminate floor instead of just stone. The toilet in this bit is better than the other one. The shower is quite nice really, its got pale green tiles and the grout is clean and not mouldy or anything and the bathroom bit seems to get cleaned regularly. The shower is quite powerful but the temperature can be a bit dodgy, either really hot or takes ages to get hot water, but once you've got it to the right temperature its usually fine. Apart from the distance its probably the best shower I've had compared to HC/Morty road. There is a staffroom in the same basement as well, which means there’s often a lot of men going past the bathroom, so the area is not very private.” (Jan 2008)
“Bathroom is in basement. You get used to it.” (Jan 2006)
“Bathroom unfortunately in basement. Only bad thing to say about this room, otherwise basin in bedroom.” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Bedroom has a single bed (although at the minute i've put that into the living room bit for TV watching convenience), sink with a light over it which you can also charge a toothbrush/razor off when its on (tie something to the end of the string to pull as the string is a bit manky), chest of drawers and big set of shelves. It also has a weird wardrobe. The wardrobe rail runs from front to back and is very small but does pull out. Half of the wardrobe is little shelves with some quaint little labels saying things like 'pyjamas' and 'collars' and 'handkerchiefs'. I would say the wardrobe is more suited to boys/the olden days but its ok, and there is lots of room in the drawers. The handle on the wardrobe is also broken. There is a big window with a deep windowsill that you can put stuff on and a fireplace (blocked up) with a little ledge on top of it. There is a little sort of medicine cupboard by the sink which annoyingly doesn't close but is quite useful for toiletries. There's a radiator and one plug point (but it is brand new as I had to get it replaced this year), well 2 but one is blocked off by a pipe. In the living room there is a decent sized desk with lots of drawers, a coffee table, a sort of slightly higher side table with a shelf under it, an armchair quite a comfy one, better than the standard green/wood beauties, although very low and you need a throw for it as its dirty looking. There is a cabinet with shelves in which is roomy and good for putting a TV on top of. There is a fireplace in this room aswell with an electric heater on it. This is quite effective once it's been on a while but takes ages to warm the room up. The pi? de r?stance is the sofa. Its pretty big and fairly comfy, although a bit narrow. Again get a throw as the colour/fabric leaves a lot to be desired. All in all plenty of storage and some good comfy furniture. 4 or 5 plug points in living room.” (Jan 2008)
“Living room: armchair, sofa, big desk, bookcase, chest of drawers Bedroom: cupboard, chest of drawers little desky thing” (Jan 2006)
“Large desk, more importantly, very comfy sofa. loads of storage space.” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“The fireplaces have some nice cresty details, the sofa as previously mentioned is pretty good. It has nice high ceilings and the windows are pretty (although they let all the heat out) and I've got a nice view down Trinity Street. Having a sink is good as not all the rooms in this staircase do. Plenty of furniture. Has a little porch bit aswell with 2 doors leading into the two rooms.” (Jan 2008)
“Location and the view down trinity street. inspirational” (Jan 2006)
“Sofa and view, and fact that both bedroom and sitting room are of a good size.” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“Distance from toilet/shower. Can get very cold without having electric heater on most of the time. Small wardrobe.” (Jan 2008)
“The noise is sometimes annoying.” (Jan 2006)
“Toilet in basement, but you get used to it.” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“The bedroom gets quite a lot of sunlight as the window is almost the whole length of the room. The windows in the living room are smaller but they are on two walls of the corner. The bedder is very nice and she empties the bin every weekday and cleans the sink and hoovers on a Thursday. She doesn't come in too early, usually between 10 and 12, and if you put the bin in the porchy bit or living room then you won't be disturbed when she comes in. The decor is just sort of cream and the curtains are dark green and burgundy stripes, a bit gloomy but keep the light out. The rooms and porch bit are all carpeted in a sort of browny colour. Overall I would say there is plenty of space and furniture and some nice features, especially the curly window handles and fireplace details. Nothing major to fault with the room, and its a lot quieter than the rooms looking over Rose Crescent.” (Jan 2008)
“A lovely set of rooms. I'm deleriously happy.” (Jan 2006)
“Loads of sunlight, furniture old but comfy, lovely bedder named jo who actually makes my bed and vacs up to twice a week if you let her!” (Jan 2003)
