A sleeping area set off from the rest of the suite by a floor-to-ceiling sliding panel. You get a twin bed, a study desk with a task lamp, a wardrobe and a set of shelves — and you share the kitchen, the living space and one bathroom with three other residents.
What Flex trades away
Flex rooms sit on the interior of the suite, so there is no window to the outside. Daylight reaches you through the suite's window wall when the panel is open. If you sleep light, or you work night shifts and need the room dark at noon, this is an advantage rather than a compromise. If you want to wake up to a view, take a Deluxe instead.
What it keeps
Everything else. Same building, same gym, same laundry room, same elevators, same all-inclusive rent. Flex residents are not housed on a separate floor and there is no separate entrance. The only difference between a Flex and a Deluxe is the room itself.
Who takes it
Mostly first-year students and people arriving in Toronto on a fixed budget who would rather put the difference into tuition, transit or savings. The average Flex resident stays eight months and about a third of them move up to a larger room in the same building when one opens.
