Louis's place has a creative, cool urban aesthetic, with interesting wall art, nice drapes, and some funky furniture. The kitchen and dining area are well outfitted and made it easy for us to prepare and eat a couple of meals at home. The exposed brick walls of the apartment add to the atmosphere of the place. The neighborhood is very lively in the summer, with bars and restaurants open until late and lots of young Québecers enjoying the street life at night. As other guests have commented, in summer the neighborhood is noisy. A party upstairs on Saturday and the club downstairs on Sunday pumped loud dance music until 3:00 AM, preventing us from getting full nights' sleep either night. If you're coming to Québec City in the summer to enjoy the night life, Louis's place would be ideal for you. If you plan to go to bed early to do full-day sightseeing jaunts the next day, you might consider another rental.
