The listing is for a room in the heart of Kensington, Toronto. While the exact square footage isn’t specified, the space is described as large and includes a private backyard, offering a rare outdoor perk for a shared‑home setting. The unit is partially furnished with a bed frame, side table, and a TV on a stand, making it move‑in ready for a June 5th start.
