Location provides easy access to buses taking you to/from Gare du Palais (VIA), bus to Montmorency, le Grande Marché, Vieux Québec. St-Roch is a very interesting quartier to explore, with its many restos, cafés -- best café au lait at Boulangerie Marchand et Fils. We really enjoyed our stay, apartment is clean, bright, comfy beds, and for a busy area, it was quiet.
