Lived in this property during my time at the University of Nottingham. Albert Grove backs onto the Ilkeston area which, from my experience, can be quite unsafe. I say this because we experienced several police-related incidents during the year we spent living there - namely multiple burglaries, being accosted at our front door and, unfortunately, a rather serious violent crime that occurred in the first term. As for the property itself. It is pretty standard student 'digs' - the place is clearly quite old. Even though the house is 3 floors, the rooms are weirdly quite small, especially the kitchen. No dishwasher FYI The estate agent we dealt with was average. Somewhat responsive to any issues in the house - but often things that got fixed (for example our door locks) just broke again. As for the good aspects of the property. I remember the signing-on process itself was quite straightforward, as was getting our deposit back. Another pro was that as it is further up the Derby Road hill, so getting on the busy bus to university at 9am is a bit easier! Pricing wise it was fairly reasonable also. Generally though, would advise avoiding. My recommendation to any students considering the area would be to live on the 'other' of Derby Road, which is a bit more insulated and calm (e.g. Harrington Drive!)
