The minimum lease term is 17 weeks, making it suitable for students or professionals needing medium-term accommodation near the University of Toronto and other city institutions.

Who This Residence Suits
Davisville works well for students or young professionals who need a furnished, medium-term home (minimum 17 weeks) with access to on-site extras. The presence of a gym and pool appeals to those who want convenience without a separate membership. The high location rating indicates easy access to public transit, grocery stores, and restaurants along Yonge Street.
It also suits people requiring a temporary stay while their primary residence is being repaired, as reflected in one review. The range of unit options — from non-ensuite rooms to full apartments — means both budget-conscious sharers and individuals wanting privacy can find something within their price bracket.
Based on the positive reviews, residents appreciate the cleanliness, spaciousness, and proximity to amenities. The management team received specific praise for being helpful during the booking process.
Who This Residence May Not Suit
This property may not be ideal for those seeking a lease shorter than 17 weeks — the minimum is firm, and no short-term stays are offered. If you are sensitive to odors, be aware that one reviewer reported persistent garbage smells in the building, possibly linked to poor waste disposal or ventilation. The lower cleanliness and maintenance sub-ratings (both 3.5) suggest that condition can vary between units.
Price range is broad: from 150 CAD per week for a basic non-ensuite room up to 1,980 CAD per week for a larger apartment. Students on a very tight budget will need to confirm that the cheapest option is still available and matches their expectations. The deposit of 395 CAD may be a consideration for those with limited upfront funds.
What Residents Actually Say
A K (Rating 1 out of 5):
“1. There are constant garage smell issues. Meaning you smell garbage strong smell in the units from either the building not disposing of the garbage properly, or the building having the garbage bins near the underground fans that spin air all through out the building. And tenants in this building aren’t throwing their ”
Louise Moritsugu (Rating 5 out of 5):
“My insurance covered a stay at DelSuites while my apartment was being repaired after flooding from the big storm in July. I cannot recommend them highly enough! The unit was very nice – clean and spacious, in a nice building. It’s 5 minutes from the unit’s door to so many eating options on Yonge St – everything from fa”
David Wong (Rating 5 out of 5):
“We were waiting for our new home to close, which, was three months away. We shopped around looking for options. AirBnB was way too expensive and hotels don’t have kitchens and laundry machines in the room. Very fortunate to have found DelSuites online after some tedious search. It was Brenda who helped us on the phone ”
The mixed feedback suggests that while the location, staff, and overall value are strong positives, the building management should address the reported smell issue to ensure consistent living conditions. The two five-star reviews highlight excellent customer service and the practicality of having a full kitchen and laundry.
Price Positioning vs City
Toronto’s student housing market has a from-price of 150 CAD per week (indicative). Davisville’s minimum price of 150 CAD per week matches this entry level. However, the maximum price of 1,980 CAD per week is well above typical student budgets, likely reflecting larger or premium units (e.g., multiple bedrooms, better views, or top-floor apartments). The weekly pricing model means that monthly costs can vary widely: the cheapest room would be around 600 CAD per month, while a premium unit could exceed 7,900 CAD per month.

Room Type Guidance
The property offers six unit types:
- Studio – single occupancy, compact living space with kitchenette.
- 1-bedroom – separate bedroom and living area, suitable for one or a couple.
- 2-bedroom – two private bedrooms, ideal for sharing.
- 3-bedroom – three bedrooms, best for groups or families.
- Non-ensuite – shared bathroom facilities, typically lower cost.
- Apartment – likely self-contained units with full kitchens and laundry.
For students looking to minimize costs, a non-ensuite room or a studio may be the most economical. Those who need more space or privacy can opt for a 1-bedroom or larger apartment. Sharing a 2- or 3-bedroom unit can reduce per-person costs while still providing private bedrooms.
Booking Timing
The minimum lease of 17 weeks means the property is geared toward semester-length or co-op work terms. Availability from date is not specified, so rooms may be offered year-round. For the 2026–2027 academic year, it is advisable to begin inquiries several months in advance — especially for August and September intake — as demand in Toronto is high (the city has 75 student properties listed). Booking early also gives you better chance of securing the unit type and price point you want.
