We enjoyed Quebec City and Michel's place SO much and he's a wonderful host - quick to respond with all of our correspondence. The rental is fantastic, location is good (restaurants, grocery and liquor stores around the corner) and we parked the car and walked everywhere. It's a little bit of a hike to Old Quebec but fine with the right weather. We loved the style and furnishings, fabulous shower/bathroom, and wonderful deck with a neighborhood view, also great to have a dedicated parking place after battling for space in Montreal! Michel provided some basic stock items (coffee, olive oil, condiments, shampoo/cond) and a washer/dryer which was appreciated.
Nothing negative to report, but a few items that might be of interest to others - 2nd bedroom (overlooking side street) was noisy late into Friday night and might not be ideal for an early to bed, light sleeper. Beds were just ok, maybe a step above a futon, but fine after a long day of sightseeing. Also to access the apartment, you need to climb 2 flights of stairs (one outside, one inside) with your luggage. It worked, but for folks with mobility challenges, this would be an issue.
We loved Ciel, the high revolving bar/restaurant at the Hotel Le Concorde for drinks to get our bearings of the city and also the 1608 bar at the Fairmont for the cocktails and view of the Saint Lawrence. We took Michel's suggestion and hit the Frite Alors for a cheap and yummy poutine around the corner. Quebec City was just a good time made better by staying at Michel's. Simply a great rental - can't go wrong with this one and Michel is the icing on the cake.
