The room was a good size. The bathroom was also very clean and well-decorated. The carpet felt quite comfy I thought.
The advertised garden was very overgrown I observed. It had no furniture. Fire doors lacked soft close features, and there was continuous banging.

The room was clean and spacious. It was what I expected.
The shared kitchen situation was a problem. I had to go downstairs for a kettle because there wasn't one in my room (this was annoying). finding the location proved difficult as signage was missing from the building.
