The apartment is in a great location for the Plateau area, with easy access to Mont Royal Metro and also the excellent restaurants on St Denis. It's a quirky area with lots of character and speaks volumes for Montreal as a city. We loved it. The rest of the City is a short Metro or bus ride away and the Mont Royal park a 20 minute walk away (in the summer!!). As a result we didn't spend much time at the apartment but it has all the basics and we loved Montreal as a city to explore.
