We enjoyed our stay and the interesting neighborhood, which caters to a young, hip crowd. Yes - there was partying happening in the streets below each night, but we were so tired it didn't bother us a bit. Every time I looked down from the balcony, the partiers shouted greetings and blew kisses and I reciprocated. Great bunch of young people doing their thing. Now, this partying went on until 5 a.m. and it was hilariously loud at times, so if you are a light sleeper, you might not do well here. Note that the street was blocked off each day and night, opening only for the street cleaners that rolled through at 5:30 a.m., so we had to walk to the corner to catch an Uber. I think this is just a seasonal happening though. In any case, if you want something a bit removed from the more touristy, but charming Old Quebec, someplace where you can get a real feel for local culture, this is a great area with restaurants, live music, art, shopping, and boulangeries in close proximity. The apartment, itself, was spotlessly clean and quite comfortable for an older property. Amenities were thoughtfully curated - coffee, soap, shampoo, a full kitchen with pots, pans, etc. But who wants to cook in Quebec? We were too busy soaking in the diverse culture and making memories.
