This was my first time booking through Airbnb, and I'm glad that I did so at Michael's listing.
The place is really nice and cozy with a lot of amenities, a separate entrance and within walking distance to the subway, which is a great fit for anyone trying to feel like living alone (as was my case). As it is a basement listing, you should expect to hear a little bit of walking noise during the day and to deal with some spiders, although in my case those weren't really a bother (i.e. didn't have any trouble sleeping or concentrating in what I was doing, and didn't find that many spiders).
Also, something that stood out for me was the owners' caringness: at the place they had left some candies, coffee beans and tea sachets if feeling up to use it; there was a plethora of kitchen utensils, like mini crockpot, blender, coffee brewer, etc; the internet modem is inside the basement, so getting internet signal isn't a problem; among other little things.
