1 bedroom for sublet in an apartment with 3 other roommates, all in early twenties and either students or working professionals. I have summer work on Manitoulin Island, and regretfully have to leave this place behind. Right between Chinatown and Downtown, you can find most amenities within a short walk; Loblaws is less than a block away. Nearby buses will take you anywhere you need to go: the 2, 4, 7, 1, and Transitway are less than 5 minutes away. Spacious balcony overlooking beautiful Somerset. Option for furnished or unfurnished, depending on preference. Sublet starts May 1st, with option to sign on to the lease in January when it comes up for renewal.
