Echoing what others have said this is a nice apartment off of Grand Allée Est, a very active area of bars and restaurants. The apartment is actually in an out building so you are not right on the street. Unknowingly our stay coincided with Festival d’Ete du Quebec so there were major concerts going on. The sounds coming from the concerts were reasonably muted and the music ended by 10pm, so no problem sleeping for us. From the apartment it’s an easy walk to many of Quebec’s points of interest. We walked everywhere and never got in the car during our 4 night stay. For grocery shopping and breakfast we found a number of places on Avenue Cartier, which is less than a 10 minute walk.
