Just before I moved into the apartment my PC got broken during the flight to Montreal and needed repair. She took me to a repair shop by her car before sending me to the apt. So I could use internet just after I arrived (which was crucial to the stranger without knowledge about the new area).
The apartment was created by human, not by God, so something may happen sometimes (in my case breaker damage). But she immediately responded my texts though it was during year-end holiday and found a repairman very soon.
The location is good to go to lots of tourist spots by walking if you are not busy on the day. And not only typical guidebook venues there are also big groceries, print-and-copy shop, drug stores (post office inside), bars, karaoke spots, and a mega-sized library in the neighborhood...so it is good for longer stay too.
The area is residential while close to train stations, so very quiet at night.
