The location was absolutely perfect for my purposes: a conference at the Hotel Bonavneture, which is about seven minutes on foot from the apartment; this paired with a good supermarket (IGA) a five minute walk away. The building and the apartment are quite nice...moderately high-end. Apartment has a functional kitchen (including a sharp chef's knife!), a nice, clean bathroom and shower, and functional, attractive furniture. It is also a surprisingly short walk to probably half of the things you might want to do or see in Montreal. But even with its proximity to everything, the windows open to a smaller, not-very-busy street, so it's fairly quiet day and night.
