We stayed there with our family of four and it was a great experience. The place was clean, and having a dishwasher, and washer and dryer, was really convenient. The main draw for us was the great value for taking a place a bit outside the central area, but still in an excellent location. Walking distance to the botanical garden and the sites at the Olympic park, and to some good restaurants on rue Ontario (don't miss the fresh bread and pastries at Arhoma - less than 10 min walk). Everything else we wanted to see in Old Montreal, the port, and a few other places were easily accessible via the metro (only a 5 or so min walk to the closest station from the apartment). If you're staying a week, then get the week pass on the public transit system, including the Opus card it's only about $35 to use public transit on the whole island as much as you want for the week.
