This cozy loft in the very hip neighbourhood of St. Roch exceeded our expectations. In addition to being about a 15 minute walk from historic old Quebec as well as curated shops and restaurants, you only need to go around the corner to experience the city without the traditional tourist traps. In fact, the New York Times wrote an article just weeks ago about St. Roch - it's cuisine, bar scene, and intimate cafés are just what we were looking for.

We stayed for two nights at Louis' apartment, which felt more like a hotel room. It was clean and comfortable - perfect for an individual or couple looking for minimalist, central accomodation at a great price. We would absolutely stay here again.

We did not take a taxi the entire time we were in the city. The walk from the apartment to tourist attractions was incredibly close. The only caution is that there are lots of hills ... great for cardio, but not so much if you have trouble getting to and from places.

All in all, Louis' apartment is in an ideal location for those looking to stay in a hip neighbourhood and avoid tourist traps. Definitely check out what the NYT had to say about St. Roch - we can personally attest to the quality of Chez Gaston poutine, Brasserie La Korrigane brewery, and McFly's.
