Our visit was in a late November chill. The apartment was clean and comfortable. Electric zone heating with multiple thermostats allowed us to lower the temperature when leaving for the day and quickly bring the heat back up when we arrived in the evening.
We parked our Subaru Outback in this unit’s space easily even though it was longer than the advertised acceptable vehicle size.
The apartment was on the second floor overlooking an active and interesting Rue St. Jean, but the space was not bothered by street noise, especially with the curtains closed.
We saw an air conditioning unit in the closet, presumably for summer installation.
The bed was comfortable; queen-size with extra pillows and linens in the closet.
It is listed as having no door on the bedroom, but this is no problem for a couple. The layout of the apartment makes the bed at a right angle out of sight of the entryway, kitchen, dining area and a large part of the living room. Think of it like a common hotel suite.
The tv isn’t connected to cable, antenna or satellite, but easy instructions give you selections from Netflix and, if you have an acct of your own, you can access SiriusXM and other online streams easily.
The flat is not overly appointed, but it isn’t spartan either.
Parking is off the street in the rear, but there is direct apartment access from your car. The only drawback would be for people not comfortable climbing stairs. In icy weather or deep snow the rear external 2 story staircase to the shared deck/patio and rear apt door could be dangerous. So if using the front door only you’d have a short walk around the block to your car.
The front staircase is inside a locked entrance door and the steps tilt a bit to one side, but this is an old building in Historic Old Quebec. So it’s understandable. The apartment itself is updated and level throughout.
A full pot coffeemaker and consistent toaster made breakfast a snap.
For on-foot convenience and local amenities it’s great. You have a decent wine/liquor store and a small grocery market within seconds of the front door. Restaurants and shops are everywhere nearby and everything in Vieux Québec is within a 15 minute walking radius.
