Wanted: Two bedrooms

Spareroom is nicer to use with the map function. But I definitely don't think its worth paying for. A lot of people with a room they want to rent out will copy and paste the exact same advert to a number of other sites especially gumtree. So its usually pretty easy to find a nice looking room on spareroom, look for a distinctive word or phrase in the advert and then search gumtree with that to find the exact same ad and contact the person without having to wait for a week or pay a fee.

Kind of agree, but at least there are fewer dodgy types on spareroom, esp the verified landlords.

Spareroom is v good if you are looking above £700, some of the more upper class types only post on there ;)
