The apartment was very clean and well-equipped. I especially liked the gym in the building: It's not big and doesn't have much equipment, but the weightlifting equipment was always vacant - I only ever saw the treadmill and the exercise bike being used by somebody else (I went there a few times a week on average).
There's not much of a view from the apartment, but that was obvious from the photos. The apartment is very well located in the downtown. McGill University was max 15 minutes away by foot, Mount Royal wasn't much farther, there's a supermarket a couple of blocks away, St. Laurent, Chinatown and Old Montreal are all close. Multiple places to grab a few good beers close by. Airport bus line 747 stop is two blocks away, railway station is 10 minutes away, metro stop is in the next block (never needed to take the metro though).
Apparently, lots of young people live in the building, but there was virtually no noise from the neighbors. The apartment door wasn't very well insulated though, so you're going to hear people coming and going in the hallway.
On the downside I suspect the apartment could be a bit drafty as I was down with a cold a lot (I'm originally from Eastern Finland and the winter in Montreal wasn't any colder). There's a well-working thermostat and the apartment was warm in general, but I think there's some bit cooler air flowing past the bed.
