Overall this apartment is good. It is clean and comfortable. However it is clearly exclusively for airbnb and felt more like a spartan serviced apartment than a home. There was no real attempt to make it homely and no added extras like teabags or coffee pods. There was no helpful hints in the apartment about the local area, the closest supermarket or recommendations of where to dine etc. I did feel it was a shame that it wasn't more personal.
The area itself is very convenient, there is a supermarket close by and Notre Dame is a few minutes walk away. It's a great base. I will say though that there were several homeless people sleeping rough outside the apartment. It didn't bother me and I didn't feel there were any safety issues but I did find it was too loud overnight to sleep with the window open due to people shouting and arguing outside.
The host was great, very responsive and kind enough to book me a taxi for my return to the airport.
Montreal itself was fantastic. Enjoy!
