Kieran's place is well decorated and overall a comfortable stay. I would highly recommend it for a short-term stay because it is in a very nice neighborhood, near good food, has easy street parking, and she has the two most precious kitties. However, for a long-term stay, I would say that there are a few things that you should be willing to deal with- no laundry & only 2 sets of sheets, no hood for the portable stove, a very small fridge, no dining table, and very thin walls! I stayed with a friend and we were both doing online courses so we would talk all day and Kieran could hear us. This led to us feeling bad like we shouldn't talk too loud/ play music downstairs. Also, the kitties like to play in the morning and some nights so you hear their little paws scrambling up above you. But with all these things in mind, the place is clean, beautiful, has an amazing shared outdoor space, strong wifi, great water pressure, and everything you need for a short to medium-length stay. I highly recommend walking over to Alberta street for food and shopping! There are also so many amazing parks nearby that we walked to in the morning. As for the host, Kieran is responsive and very accommodating. She provided us with a vacuum, let us use her washer, brought us a compost bin, got us better desk chairs since we would be at the desk a lot, and was very kind. And I. must say it again, Hella and Freya are the cutest little cats I have ever met! They will bring you toys to play with them (if you want).
