If you’re looking for sub-$1000/month rent someplace in Toronto that’s a short transit ride or bike from downtown, you may be interested in this apartment in Parkdale, pictured above. That is, at least until you take a closer look.

It seems like a nice student or starter place…

It’s hard to tell from the low-resolution pictures provided, but the floors and windows look new, and they seem to have given the place a fresh coat of paint…

…and there’s more headroom than many top-of-the-house apartments I’ve seen in town.

Judging from the photos, the place seems to be two large rooms — a living area with kitchen zone and a bedroom, where the bathroom is also located.

That looks like a nice bathroom set. In fact it’s so nice that you want to show it off…

…to the rest of the room.

I suppose that if you:

• are feeling homesick for your days in prison
• are one of those couples that feels comfortable pooping in front of the other
• live alone and never have anyone over
• establish a “the entire next room is a bathroom” rule when you have friends over
• set up some kind of divider or other barrier
• binge-watch Netflix and don’t want to choose between bathroom time and House of Cards time

then this place would work for you.
