Our family of four stayed in this apartment for a week long trip to Quebec city. The area itself is colorful, but safe and the location is very convenient. There is an incredible coffee shop and a boulangerie with amazing pastries in the same block and several nice restaurants nearby or within 15-20 walk. In the next block there is a a good grocery store where we stocked up with the breakfast necessities and delicious local fruit. The old town is a 20-30 min walk, which we anticipated and enjoyed.
The parking in the area is easy and reasonably priced for a city, but not free. On-street parking is only free at night or on week-ends. There are two parking lots within a few minutes walk, which are reasonably priced and can accommodate daily or weekly parking.
The apartment itself is true to pictures. Our family of 4 was very comfortable in the common area and we appreciated the extra bedrooms and two bathrooms. The kitchen is brand new and well equipped, perfect for making breakfast and having drinks and snacks on hand. There is an AC in every bedroom and one AC for the ground floor. They all worked well during out trip and we very much appreciated the coolness during the warm and humid days of the trip. The only disappointment were the beds, which were too wiggly to be comfortable for a couple to share.
Overall we had a good experience. There were several hick-ups at the beginning of our stay and Jennifer responded right away and made an effort to remediate them. I definitely appreciated her responsiveness. The beds are not a deal breaker, but do stand out in comparison to the overall thoughtfulness and care that the place is designed with.
Overall it was a good choice for us and we are glad we stayed at Le Downtown Saint-Jo.
