We (two international students) stayed at William's house for 22 days, while we were searching for a permanent place.
Overall it wasn't terrible but we expected more (for 86$/night). There are some downsides that it wouldn't be fair to be left unsaid.
The house was really cold, and the heating seemed to be nonexistent. Doors and windows weren't sealed at all and you could even feel the breeze coming through the gaps. The house is rather old and William's place is located in the back of the house. As a result the windows barely take in any lights as they face a narrow side alley that leads to the back door.
Also, there are lots of noises from various sources, and this was a serious issue. You could hear the upstairs residents walk, talk or even move on their beds. The floor both on this unit and the upstairs is very squeaky. But it's nothing compared to the beds. Both beds squeak even when you move your finger. Also, the Bathurst streetcar stops right at the front of the house and you can clearly hear the PA on the streetcar announcing the station name.
William was a decent guy. Upon our check-in, the bedsheets weren't really clean so I called him, and he immediately showed up and changed them. He also provided an extra set of keys upon our request.
