You get what you pay for

Overall, it's a decent place for the price and location, but I'm heavily considering moving out after the end of my lease or at least switching to a different unit.

PROS:
- Very close to campus (right across the street)
- Monthly rent is very decent, as you won't find another studio apartment in Toronto at a similar rate
- It's nice to live close to classmates, as you can visit each other often and study together
- Closet space is pretty roomy (just the closet though)
- There are several TTC bus stops nearby, and it's a 10-minute walk to York University Station on the line 1 subway
- Pet friendly!

Great place

Great place. Clean and private. Especially considering Toronto's terribly unaffordable and exploitative rental market.

Passy gets the job done

The space is perfect for 1-2 people. Furniture is included, which makes it the ideal move-in ready place for students. Facilities is not the best at handling service requests or security concerns.

Right next to the school, and for the GTA the price is good.

On Balance, A Very Affordable & Comfortable Stay

Passy Crescent is a very cheap and central place to live for anyone attending Law School at Osgoode. There are issues like the property management not being respectful of your space and the large number of families in the building leading to plenty of noise from children/babies. Overall, it's a very solid place to stay while attending law school.

Entire building requires refurbishment

Pros:
- Convenient as it is very close to Osgoode Hall building
- Quite spacious for a 1 bedroom, and adequate storage

Cons:
- When I first moved in, most furniture are either broken or on their way out and most light bulbs are out.
- All lights in my apartment produces a high-frequency buzzing that's migraine-inducing - new LED lights should be used to replace old CFLs.
- Carpets have never been cleaned as they are covered in stains and have a very bad odour.
- Maintenance is only responsive in the sense that they will respond to your emails or maintenance requests, but they do not provide timely service even with urgent issues. My toilet was broken when I first moved in and it took them over 4 days before they came to fix it.
- Fire alarm system testing should really be done during the summer when there are less students. Since the start of school, we've had 2-3 fire alarm testings where there's a flashing light and loud beeping that goes on for long periods of time.
- There's essentially no temperature regulation as room temperature can get up to 35+ celcius during September and October.
- Internet is extremely slow to the point where I struggle with saving a microsoft word document. It has affect my assignment submission multiple times and IT helpdesk has provided no useful solution to this issue.
- Hallway has an extremely pungent odour and stains all over - which I strongly believe has never been cleaned. It has attracted pests like fruit flies, flies, and cockroaches, and has caused multiple infestations.

Passy is overall great but the noises really annoy me.

I like the 1 bedroom apartment because the space is very satisfying. However, I am always disturbed by the noises from outside and from my neighbor.
