The apartment is very cleanly and comfortable, perfect for a weekend away with my best friend to celebrate our 40th birthdays. We were easily able to walk into the old city, and be more immersed in the non-touristy quarters surrounding it. While the road can be a bit loud at night on the weekends, it was nothing too bad, and the back bedroom (with two beds) buffered the noise completely. On the road itself just a stones throw from the apartment is a lovely cafe, poutine shop, and Italian restaurant. A tiny bit further down is a grocery store, and in the other direction an excellent toy store. Parking was extremely easy in garages throughout the city. Finally, communication with the owner was excellent. I highly recommend this location. It was a great first place to visit Quebec, and I anticipate cooking back!
