Any question answered...

I've done camelot (an ex and I had a three bedroom flat to ourselves for a year; in an ex-council block in Streatham, so it wasn't exactly interesting or nice, but it was an obscene amount of space for £25pw), and a few other forum people do at the moment; there are various discussions about it on the forum but I can't remember where they are. I'd recommend it if you don't have a ton of stuff/pets and you're OK with being kicked out at short notice.

If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take you to get allocated a place? My brother's waiting for a place to come up, having applied about a month ago.
