digs
Casual living quarters
Digs is informal for lodgings or living quarters, especially rented rooms: I found some new digs near campus, Nice digs you've got here.
The word often carries a casual, temporary connotation—student housing, a first apartment.
In British usage particularly, digs traditionally meant rented rooms in a private house with meals provided by the landlady.
