Maxim was a very nice and welcoming host. His place was spacious, beautiful, and super clean. Maxim recommended us the best restaurants in the area and were so kind offering to call the restaurants for reservation. The neighborhood was exactly what we wish for - to experience like a local. It was not touristy, but nice and quiet. It was a bit of a long walk to old town, however, walking was the best way to explore. We took the taxi back, which was only a 10 minute ride. We'd love to stay at Maxim's again when visiting Quebec City!
