We had a wonderful time staying at Valery's place. Her place is very comfortable. We had breakfast on the lovely back porch. We rode our bikes into the old city every day. This was easy because a good bike path is only a 1/4 mile down the street, cross a couple of streets and then you are on the big bike path along the St. Charles. We stayed in the city late and then easily rode back at nighttime (the bike path is well lit). Takes 15 - 20 minutes to pedal (leisurely) to/from the Old Port area. There is a good grocery store just a 2 minute walk down a side street. And over on 3e Ave there are some nice cafes and bakeries. It was easy to drive out to Montmorency Falls and the Isle d'Orleans from here. We would definitely stay here again.
