5 Osborne Villas has great sized rooms and is in a fantastic location being only three minutes walk from the University! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes peace and quiet.

"5 Osborne Villas is a pleasant place to live. It is in a very central location, yet it is a very quiet street - perfect for effective study. The fact that it is a Victorian house bears pros and cons: bedrooms are really big, with tall ceilings, original fireplaces and sash windows; yet the house can get quite draughty during the winter. 

With 30 other freshers living just across the road, it is like a mini halls of residence - there are always peopleResidents outside 12 Osborne Villas around to have a cup of tea with. Being so close to the Arts & Social Sciences Library and the 24-hour Computer Centre means you feel safe when walking back late at night."


"Great location - Nice quiet street that's close to a couple of good pubs, and shops and clubs are within a 10 minute walk,  University and the Gym all on your doorstep.   Spacious kitchen with washing machine, good sized rooms and great bike storage.Close enough to Uni to pop back for a cuppa in between lectures."  (Matt)
