The apartment was very comfortable for two and located within minutes of several metro and bus stops, which made getting to and from Mile End and Little Italy very easy. Vieux Montreal was a 20-minute walk in one direction (and Chinatown a few minutes closer); Plateau Mont-Royal was 20 minutes in the other direction. Rue St-Denis is 1 block from the apartment and has many dining options and a small (but pricey) grocery store.
We ate out (so many delicious places in Montreal!) so can't speak to the utility of the kitchen though it seemed well equipped (dish soap/dishwasher detergent, coffee filters, shopping bags) and the bathroom was well stocked w/shampoo/conditioner, extra toilet paper, extra towels/bathmats, etc.
