The location for Quebec City exploration is fantastic. View from the riverside room, which my wife and I had is very nice. We actually pulled the little table in the room over to the window and had an inside picnic one evening when the weather was rainy. Better view than any restaurant. Sunrise is very early in June and if you want fresh air from the windows, you can't close the curtains, so bring a sleep mask if early morning light bothers you. This room does get some street noise from the tourist on the sidewalks below, but for us that was part of the experience of being where the action is, so to speak. However, the "action" in the area starts late in the am and wraps up pretty early in the pm, so don't worry about getting a good night's sleep. The bed, by the way, is very comfortable. Sharing a restroom with others is a little inconvenient, but everyone was courteous in that regard and it was not a big deal. Paula gives you your space and will engage as much as or as little as you want as a guest. The attractions and most of your time are spent outside the house, so for us, the location was most important. It was easy to explore some, stop in to refresh (or take a short nap), and head back out. It is a great place from which to enjoy Quebec City.
