A full private bedroom with a lockable door, an exterior window, a full-size bed, a wall-mounted television and a desk deep enough for a laptop and a textbook at the same time. You share the kitchen and the bathroom; everything else is behind your own door.
Single occupancy
One resident, on one lease. We do not let any room to couples and there is no second-resident option. If you are arriving as a pair, apply together for two rooms in the same suite.
Where it sits in the range
The Deluxe rooms come in three sizes and this is the middle one. Deluxe Small is ten dollars a week less with less clear floor; Deluxe Big is fifteen more with room left over to furnish. The door, the window, the bed, the wardrobe and the desk are the same in all three — only the floor area changes.
The window
A full exterior window rather than a partitioned aspect, which changes how the room works. You can air it out, you wake up with the light, and on the upper floors you get the view that people take the photographs of — the valley to the west and the downtown skyline low on the horizon to the south.
Storage and study
A double wardrobe, drawers under the bed, and a desk with its own task lamp. The wall behind the desk takes command strips and pins, so people put up timetables, photographs and the occasional whiteboard. We do not charge for holes we cannot see.
Who it suits
Graduate students, people working shifts, and anyone who has already done a year in a partitioned room and decided the difference is worth it. This is the room type we run out of first each September.

What the rent covers
- Furniture and linens. Bed, mattress, desk, chair, lamp, wardrobe, sheets and towels. Nothing to buy, nothing to sell when you leave.
- Hydro, heat, water, A/C. Every suite has its own thermostat. No accounts to open, no bills, no seasonal spikes.
- High-speed internet in every unit. We install and pay for the connection ourselves — a minimum 1 Gbps line into each unit, shared by its three residents. Fast enough for a video call and a download at the same time.
- Amenity access. Fitness centre, games room, lounge, theatre and the terrace, included in rent for every resident.
- Laundry on site. Machines on the resident floor, card-operated, no basement queue at midnight.
- Maintenance. Report it in the resident portal. Urgent work is same-day; anything else is scheduled within 72 hours.
What you pay to move in
A $200 processing fee, a $150 key deposit, and first month's rent. Last month's rent is collected only from residents approved on income rather than a guarantor. If you have a guarantor we do not ask for it. Where it is collected it is the rent deposit, and it pays for the final month of the term. No brokerage commission. Nothing else appears at signing.
