First of all Serge was one of the most amazing hosts I have ever had. He was super fast to reply and very personable and helpful with recommendations. We took every one and were not disappointed. The unit itself is adorable and the perfect cozy, romantic space for a couple. Up 5 flights of fairly narrow stairs with no elevator so if you have mobility issues this might be a challenge especially with luggage but for us it was a great way to work off all the calories from the amazing foods of the city located just steps away! The large washer and dryer worked perfectly and were a blessing to have. The unit is a beautiful mix of the historic charm with its wood beams, brickface and old antique windows and the modern amenities that make it comfortable like appliances and modern lighting. The bed was very soft and dreamy (I love a soft bed). My husband and I had not slept that well in years. The shower pressure was great and a pleasant surprise for an antique clawfoot tub. Well stocked with laundry soap, dryer sheets, dishwasher tabs, toilet paper, etc. My husband loved the Nespresso machine and the pods that came with it. The little patio off the bathroom was wonderful. What a view! Just looking at the unique rooftops and the city and water in the distance was so nice. Listening to the cathedral bells and the bird song with the open windows was wonderful. Super close to everything too. Right around the corner from Rue Saint-Jean with its many shops and restaurants. You are also only a few minutes walk to the Chateau Frontenac, Terrasse Dufferin and the steps or funiculaire down to the lower part of the city. This loft is very centrally located and the free parking space in the garage is a huge asset. We parked on day 1 and did not move the car once til checkout (be aware it is a low garage so an SUV will not fit but there are garages in the area that would accommodate one if needed. We had a Hyundai Kona and it fit just fine). One thing to note with the parking is that the parking pass goes in the large hole at the bottom (not the card slot). Just insert it and the laser will read it and the gate will open. We missed that and ended up taking a ticket (do NOT do that). Also pay attention to the photo Serge will send you of the entrance. There are several garages in that same area so you need to enter the correct one. The photo helped us find where we needed to be. I also recommend pulling up slightly onto the curb at the unit to unload the luggage and grab the parking pass (but do not leave your car unattended on the street). This area was super quiet despite being only yards to the hustle and bustle of the rest of the city. It is sort of tucked back into this secret little street. We never heard any noise at all from neighbors and the only street noise was garbage trucks. The area also seemed very safe. I walked around at night by myself and never felt concerned for my own safety. It also has a window AC unit which was more than ample to cool down the whole unit for those extra hot days but if its not too hot then do by all means enjoy the open windows and sounds of the city below. When we were leaving my husband said I could not have found a better place and that it was just magical. When his friends asked him if we were going to visit the walled city my husband would reply, “We are staying IN the walled city!” There is just nothing like being there in the middle of it.
