The warmth of the house is definitely a highlight, but the walls between the bedrooms are paper thin, which is a downside. The landlord is a good guy, but the main issue we have is with the maintenance man, who can be a pain.

This place is known as the hive, and if you're a female, you might want to steer clear. The landlord is a bit of a pain, but you can work around him. The best part about the flat is definitely the shower, while the worst thing is the sussock.

I really like this flat; it has a mean outdoor area, two bathrooms, and a nice kitchen, making it one of the nicer ones on Castle. The rooms come with huge desks and wardrobes, which is a bonus. The landlord knows her stuff since she manages many flats in the area. The best things are the location, amenities, and living space, but the downside is that the downstairs living area doesn’t get much sun, so it can get cold.

I love this flat to bits! It's in a great location, close to uni, with big, light bedrooms and a fantastic kitchen. The lovely property manager is also in charge of several third-year flats if I want to stick with her next year. The only downside is that there's no garden.

The house is colder inside and out, but the deck is awesome in summer, though it gets slippery and slimy in winter. The landlord is responsive, addressing issues on the day they arise, but he often comes around unannounced. The best part of the flat is definitely the location and the deck, while the worst aspects are the poor shower pressure, lack of soundproofing, and cold temperatures.

Overall, the best thing about the place is definitely the deck, while the worst is its size.

Overall, the cold can be a downside, but I enjoy living here.

The flat has a perfect location for when Castle Street is lively, and I love that we're the only ones who can access the roof, which is a cool feature. The landlord is pretty hands-off, so you'll hardly hear from him. However, I do feel like there's too much space for just three people.

The deck and double glazing in all the rooms and lounge were the best features of the house, but I found the thin walls and having only one toilet in the bathroom quite annoying. The landlord was really good at coming out when we needed them and fixed things up easily, but getting the bond back was a ridiculously long process. Overall, I enjoyed my time here despite a few drawbacks.

The house had a kind of garlicky smell that never seemed to go away, but overall it was very modern and clean. I didn't deal with the landlord directly, only with student housing services, and I have no complaints—it was sort of perfect. It was cold, but not as cold as many others.

The house is in a good location, being a bit off the street, which helps with the noise. However, it’s cold, damp, and mouldy, making it uncomfortable, especially for a flat meant for five people. While the landlord, Gilians, is pretty nice, I found her not overly helpful when issues arose. Overall, the best thing about the flat is the location, but the freezing and mouldy conditions are definitely the worst.
