This is a beautiful, modern one-room condo in a fantastic location. Served as the perfect home base for a two-week half-tourist half-working-vacation stay—I appreciated the fully equipped kitchen, dishwasher, and clothes washer.
Walking distance from the Old City, the Citadelle, the Plains of Abraham, BLI language school and pretty much everyplace else I wanted to go—and it's right by several frequent bus routes for anything else. Rue Saint-Jean itself is one of the central points of Quebec city—with frequent events and weekend closures to make it a pedestrian street. It is dotted with restaurants, shops, grocery stores. There are fully FOUR used book stores and a public library (converted from a beautiful old church) all within 2 blocks.
The condo is immediately across the street from a pub named Fou Bar, which is unique on all of Rue Saint-Jean in that it is clearly a gathering spot for locals. I found this refreshing in the midst of a city that is otherwise rather tourist-oriented—I enjoyed Fou Bar's live music events and "everybody-knows-everybody" atmosphere (even though I don't drink).
