Location, location, location!
The location couldn’t be better. The apartment is above the incredibly popular Petit Champlain, located in the middle of the hill— the center of all the best spots. Exciting places to visit below and above the location. The views from balcony were amazing in all directions. The Saint Laurant is in front of you, Petit Champlain to the right and Chateau Frontenac behind you. The room was stylish and beautiful. There was a full kitchen on the floor below is and a shared bathroom in our hallway. The bathtub looked out onto the town— so lovely. Even though the bathroom and kitchen ware shared we never saw anyone around.
The only difficulties were unloading our luggage and the thin walls!
Check in is up at the top of the hill— then you drive to the location where there is very minimal street parking to unload— there weren’t any spots when we got there so we drove down to the bottom of the hill to the parking garage and dragged our luggage all the way up. Ugh. It was exhausting— these hills are no joke. In retrospect we should have just parked in an illegal spot and put our emergency flashers on just for a few minutes to unload! Note to others— do this! Or pack light!
As other reviews have stated, the walls are definitely thin. This is one of the oldest streets in the city, so it’s just the way it is. We brought ear plugs just in case and we were fine. It was only early in the morning when it was bothersome. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Most people are out and about all day— so it’s quiet— but late at night and the morning you could hear everything.
I would definitely stay here again because of the location— it definitely outweighed the noise!
Thanks so much!
