I found the flat to be very moldy and damp, with creaky floors and a noticeable lean. There's likely no insulation, and the shower often runs cold. While the landlord is okay, they did little to fix the shower issue. On the plus side, it's close to town, but the cold and mold are definitely the worst aspects.

The location of the flat is the best thing about it, but I need to take precautions against dampness and cold, especially during winter. The landlord is highly organized and a good landlord, which makes the experience better despite the chilly conditions.
The house is close to uni and town, which is great, but it's damp with some mould, and the windows leak air and sometimes water, making it a bit chilly. The heat pump is sweet, though. The landlord is responsive and quick to fix some issues, but major problems have still not been addressed after six months of nagging. Overall, the best thing is the location, while the worst is definitely the cold and damp conditions.
The house has reduced sun in winter and some small gaps in the windows that can make it a little colder, but the rooms are a good size. The landlord is very friendly to work with. The best thing about living here is that it's a residential college, which is very warm, and honestly, there's not really anything I can complain about.
The location of the flat is great, being close to town and the university, but the house is hard to heat and has a noticeable lean. I often dealt with noise from the karaoke bar down the hill and the Meridian carpark alarm. On the plus side, the landlord is relatively good and responds quickly to any requests, but the cold is definitely the worst part of living here.
The landlord is very proactive, which I appreciate, but the house can be quite noisy on Friday and Saturday nights. The location is the best aspect, but the house itself is on a lean, which is a downside.
