Marshall's room

Hamilton, ON L8R 2J4

If the ad is still up then the room is still available, so please don’t ask.

Single 1 person non smoker bedroom in a 2 bedroom scent free/low scent furnished apartment in a small 8 unit building. 2nd floor

Ideal for mature students/professionals in town for internships or co-op placements needing a furnished place with no lease for min 3 months. Much better set-up than AirBnB, and cheaper! Many Waterloo, McMaster, Mohawk and UofT grad students have rented here for 4+ months stays over the past 8 years for internships. Doctors doing residency and lawyers doing articling have also taken advantage of this location for its convenience. I’m a mature man, a motion picture technician, which means that for much of the time my hours keep me from being home much, though I also work from home sometimes, and have breaks between shows. 8 months of the year it may feel like you live alone. People are often surprised at my age. I act younger — my world interests and art background keep me young, I guess. I also love to travel.

All you need to move in is your suitcase. The room has tons of storage and makes a great room in which to study. This renovated apt is a simple place to live, well equipped for cooking including ensuite washer/dryer, dishwasher and upgrades too numerous to count, and located central to everything. Transit (HSR and GO Bus and Train) in any direction is a 10 minute walk away including a very fast bus to the airport (YYZ)

I have been living here for nearly 12 years and it’s been by far the best rental I have seen. And no bugs! I will leave the room vacant before I put in someone that does not have a professional lifestyle. You must come with references, and they will be checked. People that have never lived away from their parents won’t be happy here. I seek mature and stable individual. This is a great place to study as it is a quiet and respectful space. I use headphones when watching TV or music listening so as not to disturb my roommate, and expect the same of them.

I am a single male and seek only one other person. If you rent the room we will be at the maximum. The building was gutted and renovated 12 years ago, so new-ish.

The bedroom is 10’x 12’ equipped with desk, stool, comfy chair, large dresser, huge closet space and single bed with brand new mattress, 32” Tv with AppleTV. $850/month, First & Last. 30 days notice required for move outs. First month’s rent - no cheques or e-transfers. Receipts provided.
