Forget both locations. Why not rent an apartment in a beautiful old house around College and Shaw, in Little Italy? You're close to trendy bars on Dundas/Ossington/Queen and College, 10 minutes walk to Kensington Market, 15 minute bike ride to Bay St offices or via various streetcar routes. A much nicer urban experience than living in an apartment/condo building.
This is something to take seriously, while I personally detest the idea It may be very appealing to you - the 'much nicer' urban comment is interesting, I'd rather not stir up another debate so we'll just have to leave that one alone.
Seeing how you're renting .. you can try both, rent month to month if you can afford it, or a shorter term - nothings to say you can't move afterwords.
Not having a car doesn't change much in my opinion seeing how all the areas we're discussing really wouldn't need one desperately.
Regarding 'the commute after the subway closes' which is around1/2am, ... it's not bad, it' might be interesting though The 97 'Yonge bus' runs much more frequently after 2am (when the subway closes) it has 5-10min so the wait times aren't long typically - it's about 20min depending on the number of stops it has to make. Walking isn't terrible either, probably 45min-1 hour.
