Welcome the most Pinterest-perfect Airbnb ever. Lyse's apartment is impeccably designed and located in one of the coolest buildings in the city. We spent 6 glorious months living here and can say without a doubt that this is a super rental.
Let's start with location: The apartment sits across the street from the port and Marche du Vieux-Port - it's perfect for running across the street for fresh fruits, vegetables, and a baguette. It's also a 5-10 minute walk from the heart of the Old Town, Hotel Frontenac, etc., 15 minutes from Plains of Abraham park, and 5-10 minutes from a huge Metro grocery store. Despite being so close to so many hot spots, the street that the apartment is on is incredibly quiet.
The apartment and amenities: It's the perfect size for 2 people. The layout is great in that you never feel like you're on top of one another. Plus, there's an entire wall of huge windows that are nearly floor-to-ceiling-and provide incredible light through all the seasons. There are even huge french doors that open completely onto the street, providing great breezes in the spring and fall. She has a ton of great amenities too like a portable washing machine, fast-heating electric cooktop, convection oven, and all the tools you need to make great meals at home.
The bathroom gets a nod too because her hot water never goes out. Great shower with great water pressure and hot water gets an A+.
Wifi: We work online and need fast reliable internet and Lyse's wifi puts everyone else's to shame. Her connection was lightning fast and never went out once. Definitely the strongest out of any of our past rentals.
Lastly, Lyse and her partner Francis are two of the nicest people you will ever have the pleasure of meeting. Lyse was always quick to respond if we had any questions or needed recommendations. Plus, the two live on the upper floor of the building and are available in person if you need anything.
Whether you're looking for a rental for a weekend in Quebec City or for several months, we highly recommend this apartment! Thank you, Lyse, for a great stay in Quebec!
