Tenant 1

We loved living in this house last year - St Michael’s Hill is a lovely location with great pubs, restaurants and shops on your doorstep, and of course it’s only a 10 minute walk down the hill to Stokes Croft and Cabot Circus. A bit uncomfortably close though to uni though! The house came fully equipped with modern furniture and appliances, and bedrooms were mostly a comfortable size although there were 3 smaller ones. The open-plan kitchen/ living space is great and there’s room for everyone to chill in the evening. One point worth mentioning, though, is that to access the bathroom on the first floor, you have to walk through somebody’s bedroom, which was inconvenient at times. We would have rated this house 5 stars, had it not been for some pretty serious security issues - we got badly burgled in February 2019, due to the fact that our front door was fitted with a singular lock which made it easy to break in. Digs were extremely slow and reluctant to deal with the issue, not to mention their complete lack of empathy for what we had gone through (their response was to claim that one of our housemates must have been the burglar - nice). Having said that, we fought our corner and the house has now been fitted with a mortice lock so fingers crossed future tenants won’t experience any similar problems.
