This is a great place to stay if you're looking for a home base while exploring the city or during a work trip. The neighborhood itself is quite residential and quiet, and there are several cool bars and restaurants around that the host provided a useful map of. It was easy to catch a bus to downtown; I was able to get to the conference center on both weekdays and weekends for $3 CAD within 15mins door to door. The apartment is clean, minimal, and small, but was perfect for one and had a few useful amenities (nescafe, small refrigerator). I will add that while the house is generally quiet, there is very little noise insulation, so you'll hear almost everything going on upstairs (I can only assume this goes both ways). If you are looking for a *perfectly* silent place, this may not be the spot for you, but the noise from the other occupants was limited mostly to e.g. around dinnertime.
