The free Netflix and flat screen TV in room, books, heater, ample closet space, good shower pressure were a big plus for me. The house is also in a great area for public transport with trains and buses in easy walking distance. The price was quite cheap compared to other listings in the area and when I got there I could see why. The upstairs carpets needs to be replaced, although I'm sure that will be a massive project to undertake. There was also a strange smell in the house that never seemed to go away. But I was often away at work so I didn't mind too much.
