Exchanging gold is enough for accommodation (7,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lodging house

'accommodation' is the definition.
(lodging house is a kind of accommodation)

'exchanging gold is enough' is the wordplay.
'exchanging' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'exchanged' mean this).
'gold'+'is'+'enough'='goldisenough'
'goldisenough' with letters rearranged gives 'LODGING HOUSE'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Another definition for lodging house that I've seen is " Temporary accommodation".)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
