- Noise
“it's pretty noisy in the bedroom as it's right opposite the entrance to la raza on rose crescent, which also means that if you open the window in the daytime, cigarette smoke from the people eating outside comes straight in.” (Jan 2006)
“Bedroom and gyp both overlook Rose Crescent so Gardies noise and music from La Raza is inevitable until late into the night. Bedroom does have double glazing, but the effect is minimal. Living room faces St Mike's court so is a haven of quiet.” (Feb 2005)
“The bedroom window looks out over Rose Crescent so there is a lot of noise at 11 and then again at 2 when the clubs close.” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“virtually non-existent. there's one hob, face height, behind a cupboard, and which is too narrow for a large pan, which falls into the sink unless you hold onto it. no large communal gyp on the staircase.” (Jan 2006)
“My set has it's own gyp, with a shared fridge for the whole corridor on the floor above. Gyp is quite awkward to use, with only one hob (bizzarely elevated at eye-level in the corner above sink) and no work surface at all.” (Feb 2005)
“The suite has it's own small gyp room with a large old fashioned sink, large storage cupboard and a single gas hob. Fridge located on the landing on the second floor.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“basement toilets and showers. i am pretty sure that the showers and baths have never once been cleaned this whole year. the showers are shared by c and d staircases, i think.” (Jan 2006)
“Nearest toilet is in the basement, and along a sub-terranean corridor linking all the bathroom and washroof facilities, all of which are perfectly respectable. Very close to washing machines and tumble dryers.” (Feb 2005)
“Bathroom is situated in the basement two floors down and is shared with the whole staircase, but as the room is only on the 1st floor and you have a basin anyway it's not that much hassle.” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“desk, table, bookshelf, sofa, chairs.” (Jan 2006)
“Small desk, large dining table, three upright chairs, lovely big green velvet sofa, two medium-sized bookshelves.” (Feb 2005)
“Really nice furniture - large proper sofa, good size table and three chairs. Average desk, mantlepiece in the main room and the bedroom.Large and small bookcase. Reasonable chest of drawers and wardrobe. Nice gas fire.” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“the living room is quite spacious, and it's nice having a separate bedroom.” (Jan 2006)
“The size: both living room and bedroom are large, and a spacious corridor linking them makes it almost feel like a small appartment. Also has very high ceilings.” (Feb 2005)
“The two huge windows with wooden windowsills that look out over St mikes court.” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“noise/smoke in the bedroom, non-existent gyp” (Jan 2006)
“Dingy gyp room.” (Feb 2005)
“The lack of proper cooking facilities.” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“some afternoon sun, bedder is fine, nothing particularly striking about the decor, heating is ok, sockets are poor, which makes lighting difficult.” (Jan 2006)
“Nice bedder, who generally doesn't reach my room until around midday, so good for late risers. Doesn't get much bright sunlight.” (Feb 2005)
“Very light spacious room - one of the best I've seen in college.” (Jan 2003)
