We explored many parts of the city, all within walking distance. Old Quebec was about a 30-45 minute walk, Limoilou similar. There are many restaurants and shops and some bars on neighbouring rue st joseph est (on walk towards old quebec); grocery store there as well. Marc's home is very nice, the room has your own fridge which is very convenient; the kitchen and bathrooms are clean and tidy. I would definitely reccomend Marc's home to travellers.
