Vincent's apartment is perfect for a stay in Quebec. It is in walking distance to the old town and the many tourist attractions. We particularly enjoyed the walk from behind the apartment along the river, across the Plains of Abraham to the boardwalk that ends at Chateau Frontenac. We did this in snow, rain and sunshine during our stay and it was always stunning.
I would recommend visiting Quebec in December to experience the Christmas lights and events happening (including the junior league ice hockey game which was a highlight). The apartment is warm and cosy. Great to come home to after being out in the fresh, cold air all day. It ranged from around -4 to -8 degrees celsius during our visit but we were prepared and loved every minute of this special place during the festive season.
As two women in our senior years, I probably should have looked more closely at the number of stairs to be negotiated to reach the apartment. Around ten steps from the street to the front door, then you have to walk through the building to another set of stairs going down to an outside covered walkway. Once you enter the next building there is a narrow winding staircase to take you upstairs to the apartment door. This said, Vincent very kindly helped us with our bags on the morning we left which was much appreciated. Next time we'll travel lighter!
The apartment is also close to a shopping centre for food and wine supplies. There are many good restaurants to choose from nearby, but we enjoyed coming home to a glass of wine with cheese and olives as we caught up with the latest season of 'The Crown' on Netflix. The internet/wifi wasn't working when we arrived, but Vincent followed up with the provider straight away and it was fixed on the Monday.
Thank you for a lovely stay in your home, Vincent and for your consideration and helpfulness. You really are a 'Super Host'!
