That area of Verdun isn't the greatest, but you'll be safe enough for sure.
For bus from airport, first stop is Lionel Groulx metro, so off there and onto green line toward Agrignon and you are only a couple stops from de l'Eglise. As for luggage, I've seen people dragging 3 big pieces onto the metro, so your definitely good. BTW, I'm pretty sure you can get 3 day unlimited passes for $25 - but you probably knew that already.
You sound like you hit all the highs last time around, in downtown anyway. I'll try to put a bit of a list together of pubs/eateries I love that are fabulous, cheap and fun vs fine (with access close to metro), as well as a few sights that may fit your description.
I really admire 6 day solo trips. I love that kind of thing. I'll get back to you.
