My girlfriend and I stayed at Alexe’s place over the Christmas Holidays with our 2 dogs. The house is astectically pleasing with a minimalistic vibe. Check-in is via a lockbox which was smooth. The bathroom is very nice with a comfortable bath. All the shampoo, soaps and lotions provided smelt amazing. The house is located in a good area, 10 minute drive from downtown/old Quebec.
Things to note: there are loose floor boards all over the place, specifically in between the kitchen island and powder room. This can cause stubbed toes/cuts. The powder room pocket door does not work - do not use it unless you want to be trapped in the washroom for 10 minutes, well you awkwardly try to pry yourself out. The house is very open concept with a lot of windows and limited blinds/curtains. At night, you will be on display for the neighbours to watch. Lastly, the most frustrating part of our stay was the parking. It is restricted parking of 90mins from Monday - Friday during the day. There is limited spaces available(could have been because we went over the holidays and people were home from work). This was our first time in Quebec City and didn’t know - but when the orange light is flashing 100 meters down the street - no one is allowed to park on the street over night as the snow crews are coming around the streets to remove the built up snow. We had no idea and woke to a comotion outside. It was a tow truck hooking up our truck to take it away. We made it just in time and the tow driver was very nice and realeased the truck. He was the one that informed us that we were not allowed to be parked over night because the orange light is flashing. We spent the next 3 hours driving around trying to find somewhere to park - but I swear there wasn’t a thing available. Every single car in the city is off the streets and in driveways/parking lots (which seems pre-planned and organized). We ended up giving up and and parking back in front of the house as most of the snow was cleared by the city contractors. This could have been a nightmare situation to wake up to if we didn’t wake up to the comotion. The next morning we had activities booked all day starting at 8am - we would have woke up to a missing truck and would have spent the day trying to locate.
