Digs

/dɪɡz/ noun/verb

Informal term for living quarters or accommodation; also third person singular of 'dig' meaning to excavate.

Slang use meaning 'lodgings' emerged in 1890s, possibly from 'diggings' referring to mining camps where people lived. The verb 'dig' comes from Middle English diggen, possibly from Old French digue meaning 'dike'. The slang sense transferred from places where people dug to places where they lived.
