We stayed at this listing for 2 and a half weeks. If you want a completely independent experience, then this is the place for you. If you are looking for warm interaction with local hosts, then it isn't. You communicate with Airsorted, not with the people who live in the main house (as this is a basement listing). We did run into Naomi and family at times, but only had very short interactions. One of these included who I would assume is Naomi's husband instructing my boyfriend to keep the dehumidifier on at all times in the bathroom, a civil but impersonal/cold reception.
The place was nice and clean, but it definitely looked bigger in the photos. It was perfectly adequate space for two people and we were able to hang out with some friends in the living area at times (most would just have to sit on the floor).
There is a cat scratching post at the top of the stairs that you descend down to get to the door. However, there was absolutely no smell and the cat is very cuddly and friendly! It's quite a good hunter though. During our time there it killed two mice and a bird and we had the pleasure of seeing the carcasses on our way in (it was by the front lawn and backyard). However, it wasn't too big of a deal and didn't contact Airsorted about it. It was eventually taken away.
Since it's a basement apartment, you will hear noise from upstairs. But I think it's mostly their kid running around so it stops pretty early at night. I didn't find it too disruptive so I didn't find it necessary to contact the hosts about it. Don't be freaked out by some of the weird noises at night; it's probably the upstairs plumbing. You will hear it but won't wake you up from your sleep if you're not a light sleeper. Bring earplugs if you are one.
Bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom were all quite nice. We did have an issue with the towel rack slowly coming off the wall in the bathroom but it happened towards the end of our stay. Airsorted promptly responded when I contacted them about it but we were leaving soon so I didn't see the point of anyone coming in during our stay to fix it.
It's a nice location; not too far from downtown core, good transport links, and a quieter/trendy area that doesn't have as much of the hustle and bustle in the main city.
All in all a fairly good stay.
