Check-in was very easy. We had to adjust our arrival time and Dave was very quick to respond to all text messages so when we did arrive, he was there to greet us. Dave gave us a very thorough review of the surrounding area and how to manage parking. The parking situation may sound a little more complicated than it actually is. We managed it easily. There is a parking app you can download named "CoPilot," that allows you to add money to the "meter" from where ever you are. In bed, across town, wherever! The apartment itself was very clean. The space is uncluttered, and the kitchen was very well equipped in terms of appliances, utensils, glassware, plates and bowls. We like to save money on food where we can, so we brought quite a bit of food with us. However, the refrigerator is quite small, so consider that when bringing food with you. The location worked well for us. We could drive into the old city in about ten minutes (it's very close, but it's still a city with traffic lights), and we could walk there in about 15-20 minutes. Quebec city has a lot of hills, so keep that in mind when heading out on foot. The surrounding neighborhood is pretty hip. Lot's of pubs, yummy bakeries and cafes a block away. We felt that we got a great value for our money and would absolutely stay at Dave and Clara's place again.
