Living in CityBlock Marton Street was great (even during the pandemic). I guess a lot depends on the people that you live with, but the facilities are great, and the environment is really good for meeting people and socialising. The shared kitchen for superior en-suite and superior-plus en-suite occupants are great for socializing. Other benefits are: good cleaning staff (shared spaces and room cleaning); on-site launderette, and a reception which during normal times functions well, meaning you can get parcels any day of the week (not weekends though). The rooms are good too (the beds are small doubles), and the environment is not bad for studying either (the lights are good enough for reading). In addition, the location is great -- in comparison to Penny Street and Gillows, I think Marton Street is most central. This is of benefit if you party at Glow Rooms, as it is extremely easy to get back later. If you have a car, there is also a car park nearby where you can park it.
