Hi fellow Team Liquidians! This is your chance to help out a bro in need 
I have a good opportunity to do an internship in Toronto during the spring of 2008 (probably late April till late July). The company is located in downtown Toronto (Adelaide Street West). My dilemma however is that I need a place to live for a couple months.
My dilemma is that I do not have a place to sleep at. I do not play Poker and do not have a lot of munnies (I can't afford to get an apartment for $800 a month or anything). So what I am looking for is anything livable, with or without roomie (a StarCraft Roomie would be great, we can discuss the upcoming blizzard games and perhaps I might be able to teach ya some SC tricks  a hot female roomie would be fine too, but not too hot, i have a gf).
IF ANYONE KNOWS ANYTHING OR ANYONE THAT COULD HELP ME OUT, OR HAS A POSSIBLE PLACE FOR ME TO SLEEP AT FOR NOT _TOO_ MUCH MONEY, C O N T A C T M E !!
ty <3
Ps.
I'm a friendly 23 year old guy from the Netherlands. I speak English and Dutch fluently. I also know a bit of German and am able to pull out a French sentence every now and then. My major is Communication & Multimedia Design. I love sports (even icehockey eventhough I don't know much about it! :p), games, movies, music and going out. I'm a semi-good cook as well.

I'm very sad to reccomend this place but my girlfriend lives in a really crappy residence called Tartu. Its crappy...5 rooms 1 kitchen 2 bathrooms in a suite but quite run down and really...crappy. But its only 500 a month. Its at spadina and bloor st W.

For something that cheap you're only gonna get places like that, where 5 uni students all live.. especially in downtown.

I lived in Toronto and from my experiences, housing there is really expensive especially in the downtown area. I don't have anything specific but I know alot of house owners rent out their basements to college students. Since alot of those students will won't be there during the summer, that's probably your best bet. You can probably get something decent for around $300/month (not too sure about the price). However, it takes 45min to 1.5h to get from most residential areas to downtown. ATeddyBear suggested somewhere where university students live but personally, I wouldn't classify most of those places as "livable".

I don't know why you would want to live downtown downtown. The trick is to live on a subway line, even if it's far, it's no big deal.
Try to find somewhere in North York, which is relatively cheap, and a very nice and quiet area. Obviously not as lively as downtown, but it's a nicer place for living imo.
Look on Craigslist, or kijiji (i think that's what it's called).

thanks to all above
if I can find anything from 300~500 it'd be great. I can't afford too much because I still want to keep my own apartment over here. I'm a student and I guess I'm used to some crap, eventhough my own apartment is actually pretty nice .
Like Cambium said, as long as the place is somewhat close to a subway line the location is fine. I don't really expect to find a place in the center of a city.
I started looking on Kijiji already as well.. I hope I can find something soon  Since it's my blog I guess I'll keep you guys updated
