Noise

“Facing Tree Court means noise is at a minimum.” (Jan 2008)

“Generally very quiet.” (Jan 2003)

Gyp Room

“It's as small as a toilet cubicle and shared between four, but conveniently located.” (Jan 2008)

“Shared between 4, right outside room. Very small, and if your neighbours are the sort who don't do their washing-up, then it can quickly become too cluttered and dirty to be useful.” (Jan 2003)

Bath Room

“Two floors down, the shower/bathroom could do with updating. One shower cubicle (an old communal wetroom, now with a door) and a bath, all shared between seven.” (Jan 2008)

“One bath, two showers (bizarrely in the same cubicle, so essentially one shower), shared between 6, two floors down.” (Jan 2003)

Furniture

“A good-sized desk with office chair, two 'comfy chairs', coffee table, bedside table, and bookshelf. One 'pin board' wall covered in shelving so lots of space for photos, books etc.” (Jan 2008)

“Reasonable desk, computer chair, two armchairs, coffee table, bookcase, plenty of shelving and a decent sized wardrobe.” (Jan 2003)

Best Feature

“The view is a selling point - overlooking Tree Court, Senate House, the library and with King's Chapel in the background.” (Jan 2008)

“It's central.” (Jan 2003)

Worst Feature

“At the moment, it's in need of freshening up. Rather dated paint job which is quite shabby in places, although I'm told the ceiling could be done soon. Shower facilities aren't great, but manageable.” (Jan 2008)

“The stairs you have to climb to get there.” (Jan 2003)

General Comments

“Nice and sunny for most of the day, even with the slightly smaller windows on the top floor. Good bedder...no problems there. Carpet is, like the paint job, kind of old school although nothing a rug can't fix. Brand new curtains (not the cream ones in photo) brighten the place up. Four electric sockets. It's not a palace, but being in Tree Court with a good view are plus points, as is the lack of noise from the street. Plus the decor can easily be covered up with posters.” (Jan 2008)

“It faces south, so always gets plenty of light. The bedder, Maureen, is great.” (Jan 2003)
