This is a really nice apartment! The building is rather historic, so there are a few quirks with the doors and door knobs. (My first day, the bathroom door knob had fallen off, but they fixed it the next day.) The room has a nice fan but little air circulation from outside, so it felt quite warm. There are several wonderful cafés and restaurants within a 10-15 minute walk from the apartment, and the Marché Jean-Talon is only 15 minutes away. There are also several Bixi bike rental stations nearby the apartment, so I'd recommend bringing a helmet along to make your stay even easier.
Bear in mind: the bedroom door only locks from the inside. While it's great for privacy at night, you'll likely have to keep your valuables with you throughout the day. That said, the security is great, so I had no problems throughout the stay.
