I would definitely recommend maxims place if you're going to be visiting Quebec City. Although it's some distance from the old Quebec City, the bus stop is literally two - three blocks away and it goes directly there. Maxim was an amazing host, he was really helpful in helping us get to where we need to be. His place is also very clean and organized. In his hallway, there is a bunch of tourist booklets to help you get around as well.
BEST HOST EVER!! his place is definitely a steal!
