Both common areas and bedrooms were large and came with furniture in good condition. However: very draughty! In the upstairs rooms the carpet would wiggle around if it was windy outside, and a flatmate complained of cold temperatures.

There was also a serious bug issue. In summer a flatmate’s room became infested with a nest of ladybirds that had presumably entered through the same gaps in the walls the wind was coming through. Other flatmates rooms became infested with their grubs, which was frankly disgusting. Even after deep cleaning we still kept finding little bug shells all over the place. One flatmate with OCD was traumatised. For a renovated property it seemed to have lots of structural problems.

Other issues included various appliances breaking down but these were always fixed in good time. No garden, but a roomy patio area and a dedicated space for bins in the front. Parking provided.
