Wikipedia's entry on the Defiant says that Worf liked the spartan crew quarters so much that he decided to live on board the ship (as opposed to having quarters on DS9). Is this true? Which episode was this?
Did Worf live on the Defiant?

Yes, it’s true.
And he blasted Klingon opera through the intercom like everyone would.
Until he shacked up with Jadzia.
One of the many compromises he had to make.
"Our lives together will not be easy."
One could say he was.....a defiant fella.
I think I kinda remember it being mentioned in an episode but don't remember which one. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me though, Worf didn't have luxurious quarters on the Enterprise but they were nice, certainly closer to the regular DS9 quarters we saw than the tiny Defiant bunk beds.
Ah, that makes more sense, him liking spartan quarters clearly doesn't match what we saw before.
...Although how so? Worf in TNG was all about abstinence and self-torture, living in the mistaken belief that this was the Klingon Way because he had no good point of comparison. His TNG quarters were just the best he could do in the field of masochism, while the Federation put up quite a fight there, drowning him in soft beds, replicated prune juice and whatnot.
By the time of DS9, Worf would have learned better. But he also still openly despised those Klingons who didn't live by the abstract and absurd Code, which meant basically all Klingons. Getting over this took some doing, and Worf moving to the Defiant happens in the middle of this readjustment. Afterwards, he's at ease with playing by the real Klingon rules, and scoffing at both pious abstinence and immoral gluttony and corruption; having him isolate himself to the starship would no longer make sense, then.

I think he just wanted the ability to bolt or cloak if he was having an off-day. 
Because that's what's in the episide.
Even when Worf was living on the Defiant, he wasn't alone, was he? Surely the ship would always have at least a skeleton crew on board, even when it wasn't on active duty.
Perhaps after Tom Riker had such an easy time stealing it...
Why should the ship maintain a skeleton crew while docked to the station doing nothing?
