We had one night in Quebec City with my parents in law, and I wanted a place for all of us with a bit of magic. While not in the Old CIty per se, it's close by, and St. Roch is a nice neighborhood. There are some down-and-out folks on the streets, but that's partly because the church nearby serves their needs. It's nothing you wouldn't find in any modern city, and there was no sense of feeling unsafe. But here's where the real value lay. The weather was cold and rainy. We braved it for two lovely walks around the old city, but that night, rather than go to a restaurant, we shopped for groceries and had dinner in. It's a beautiful space, charming, both rustic and modern, and were able to just sit down as a family and reflect on our trip. Everything we needed was there, and Simon and his team were very responsive when we had any questions about the space or where to go. Highly recommended.
