I have mixed feelings about my experience at the place. The auberge room itself is quiet and nice enough, but it is an add-on to an upscale restaurant which is the primary business of the place, not too overwhelmed with enthusiasm about airBnb-booked B&B guests. We might have hit a busy time at the restaurant but we had a distinct feeling we were distracting the restaurant stuff from important affairs with our unreasonable desire to check in and find our rooms. They were hard to get hold of and hard to extract answers from. The only thing communicated readily and eagerly was the necessity to pay taxes on top of the airbnb payment (remember to budget for that when booking). There were other little surprises. "Breakfast" is listed under amenities, together with "Hangers" and "Shampoo", for example, but it is actually not included, but expected to be bought from a restaurant on the ground floor. If "Shampoo" or "Hangers" are listed as amenities, you wouldn't expect to be told to go to a store across the street to buy them - why should you expect to have to buy breakfast from a restaurant, when you are staying at a B&B where it is listed as an amenity? And if the B&B doesn't want to serve breakfast, why list it at all? Yet the very reference to breakfast (suggested by their own listing) produced an annoyed response, almost as if I tried to swindle them. The check-in and out takes place in a kind of a banquette hall, full of dining people and busy waiters (you don't want to barge into it wearing a backpack, but there is no other way in that I was able to find). The location is good for some one who knows the town well, is comfortable with noise and crowds, and is looking to dress up and sit down to an upscale dinner table, to spend a long time at it (there is practically nothing else available at the Grande Allee around the place, nor in the place itself). The Abraham Planes memorial park with (beautiful) scenic views is within walking distance just off the Allee, the Old City is little further, a 20 min walk away, and the area where sight-seeing tours originate from is at the opposite end, across the Old City, within about 30-40 min walk. While the location is not bad, I don't think it is very suitable for most first time visitors. Even if the area sounds like you, I would not recommend booking this place through airBnb. They seem to have some other booking system which seems to qualify guests as worthy of their attention, as opposed to airBnb-booked guests - at least we received such impression from every one's remarks. To me, that completely outweighs the pros of the place (location, such towels etc. as are indeed included free of charge, and the ability to order a meal on the premises - Quebec city is overflowing with restaurants,...
